The documentation for the struct module says: "short is 2 bytes; int and long are 4 bytes; long long (__int64 on Windows) is 8 bytes" and lists 'l' and 'L' as the pack code for a C long. As it is implemented today, the documentation is incorrect. On an LP64 host (pretty much any 64-bit linux, bsd or unixish OS; not windows) a long is 8 bytes.
