... I also find the following confusing:struct.calcsize('hb')3
struct.calcsize('hb') == struct.calcsize('bh')False
I could understand aligning to multiples of 4, but why is 'hb' different from 'bh'?
Pad bytes have never been, as far as I know, added at the end of structs in C, only between fields, when required. So the leading "b" gets a following pad byte, but the trailing one doesn't need padding.
