This isn't about packing arrays of long integers in an array. I know the discussion is old, and I know the discussion is long, and honestly, I don't really need this particular functionality anymore (in the struct module in particular), but I still believe that being able to pack and unpack arbitrarily lengthed integers is useful. What is interesting is that this functionality was supposed to be in binascii years ago (which I resolved to myself as being sufficient), yet currently is not.
