Of course any time you send coherent numbers over the network, I highly
recommend you use what's called network byte order.  In C, you'd use the
 htonl() call, and then when pulling it off the wire on the other end
you'd use ntohl().  If you don't then you will have problems when the
endianness is different between the hosts.  Standard convention (even in
the MS word) is to use big-ending across the network.  I'm sure python
has some convention in the struct module for dealing with this.
