Can anyone explain to me why
struct.pack('HB',1,2) gives 3 bytes, whereas struct.pack('BH',1,2)

Alignment -- read the manual.
If "the manual" is the help files for the struct module, I've read it
several times over. I understand endianness; I don't understand
alignment. Could anyone give a less cryptic / terse answer?
A good start might be this Wikipedia article:
