Purpose:
    Demonstrate the way the struct module works.
 
Description:
   One can access substrings of a string in a arbitrary manner while using the
   struct module. This is mostly useful when dealing with byte level
   programming required in embedded systems or while using sockets.
 
Source:
   Python cookbook perhaps.

# by how many bytes does theline exceed the length implied by this
