Whenever you create a ctypes.Structure with mixed ctypes, the size of all components is calculated by the size of largest one. This is especially irritating when trying to use Structure on bytearray.
The problem repeated for me in Python2.6 and 2.7 (both 32bit and 64bit versions) [My computer is 64bit]
Example:
#Creating a Structure that should take up 5 bytes
class Test(ctypes.Structure):
_fields_ = [("test", ctypes.c_byte),
("test2", ctypes.c_uint32),]
#Initiating the Structure
Test.from_buffer(bytearray(5))
--- OUTPUT ----
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<ipython-input-45-cd4b7501baee>", line 1, in <module>
Test.from_buffer(bytearray(5))
ValueError: Buffer size too small (5 instead of at least 8 bytes)

This is how padding works in the C ABI, not a bug. |

You can also use "_pack_ = 1" to override the default alignment rules: http://docs.python.org/3/library/ctypes.html#ctypes.Structure._pack_ |
