I just discovered that struct packs pointers from objects with an __index__() method. Is that intentional? >>> import struct >>> class IDX(object): ... def __init__(self, value): ... self.value = value ... def __index__(self): ... return self.value ... >>> struct.pack('P', IDX(9)) b'\t\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00' >>>

>>> import struct
>>> class IDX(object):
...     def __init__(self, value):
...         self.value = value
...     def __index__(self):
...          return self.value
... 
>>> struct.pack('P', IDX(9))
b'\t\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00'
>>>
