Summary: struct.calcsize mismatch

Initial Comment:
Python 2.3 (#2, Sep  2 2003, 14:46:01) 
[GCC 3.1] on linux2

Python 2.3.2 (#1, Nov 21 2003, 10:31:27) 
[GCC 3.2.2] on irix6

I was using the struct.calcsize function to get the
size of a byte and a long, although I was getting
mismatch errors when running the code. I found that
calcsize was giving different results when changing the
order of the format.

example:
struct.calcsize('BL') -> 8
struct.calcsize('LB') -> 5
