Well, a Python object doesn't have a size, really. FC_LONG, etc are 
C-style enumerations which relate to the program I'm writing, unmidl.py, 
which is a GPLed tool to recover Microsoft midl IDL files from generated 
exectables. It's available here: 
http://www.immunitysec.com/resources-freesoftware.shtml along with a 
bunch of other stuff written using WingIDE, including a x86 
disassembler, assembler, C compiler, and MITM HTTPS web proxy used for 
security analysis of web applications.

My company writes a LOT of Python code and we've standardized on 
WingIDE. Which reminds me, I wish there was a way to say "All the spaces 
here are 8 characters. I want them at 4." without converting to tabs 
first. :> Also, the Argentinian on my team doesn't like to hit enter, so 
a "please put a new line between all function definitions" wouldn't hurt.
