struct - Library Reference 4.3

[Colin J. Williams]

Martin,

Thanks, I did not spot this.

I was looking for some clue as to which argument is causing
the exception.  As an example:

import exceptions, sys
try:
  print `struct.pack('iii', 22, 22.6, '23.6')`
except struct.error:
  print 'z1:', struct.error().args
  print 'z2:', sys.exc_info()[1]
  print 'z3:', sys.exc_info()[1].__getitem__(0)

Neither 22.6 or '23.6' is an integer, but it seems that '23.6'
is the source of the problem.

Various things I've tried don't identify the specific value.
