It's not really platform dependant. The opcode arguments (which is what you
are talking about) are always stored as two characters, regardless of, for
instance, the size of 'int' or 'long', but it *is* dependant on the size of
a 'char'. However, a ton more things are likely to break if the size of a
char isn't 8 bytes, so it's highly unlikely that you'll encounter a Python
where the above does not hold ;)
