A *NULL* pointer will always be returned as the Python integer -``0``. When packing pointer-sized values, Python integer or long integer objects -may be used. For example, the Alpha and Merced processors use 64-bit pointer -values, meaning a Python long integer will be used to hold the pointer; other -platforms use 32-bit pointers and will use a Python integer. For the ``'t'`` format character, the return value is either :const:`True` or :const:`False`. When packing, the truth value of the argument object is used. |
