Please note that the docs distinguish 'standard size and alignment' from
'native size and alignment'. The standard size (which is what you get if your
struct format string doesn't start with '<', '>', '=' or '!') does exactly what
you suggest: it gives struct codes a fixed size that's independent of platform.
>>> import struct
>>> struct.calcsize('L') # native size and alignment
8
>>> struct.calcsize('<L') # standard size and alignment
4
