Thank you. I'm not very familiar with the latest API.

I think that in the documentation for the struct module should clarify, 
what is the *standard* size and alignment. The struct module is widely 
used in the standard library for working with binary formats (aifc, 
base64, binhex, compileall, dbm, gettext, gzip, idlelib, logging, 
modulefinder, msilib, pickle, wave, xdrlib, zipfile).
