Of course any time you send coherent numbers over the network, I highly

Not in the struct module; such functions are available in the socket
module, and should be employed indeed.
Please don't pass this misinformation along.
In the struct module document, see the section on the initial character:
Character Byte order Size and alignment
@ native native
= native standard
< little-endian standard
> big-endian standard
! network (= big-endian) standard
and notes @ is the default.
