	Why should it?... struct doesn't care WHERE the data came from; it
just takes a /string of bytes/ and interprets the contents as a series
of raw binary fields based upon the format character.

>>> import struct
>>> data = "elevenbytes"
>>> struct.unpack("!B4HH", data)
(101, 27749, 30309, 28258, 31092, 25971)
>>> ndata = [30, 138, 32260, 563, 3238, 23537]
>>> struct.pack("!B4HH", *ndata)
'\x1e\x00\x8a~\x04\x023\x0c\xa6[\xf1'
>>>
