[Сергей Ковба]

New submission from Сергей Ковба:

Such code PackageFile.write(struct.pack( "l", PkgHdrSize)) have different behaviour on 32-bit and 64-bit systems.
In case 32-bit system it writes to file 4 bytes. and 8 bytes in case 64-bit system, but in http://docs.python.org/library/struct.html p.7.3.2.2 long type have strict 4-byte size.
