The actual -size can be accessed through the \var{itemsize} attribute. +size can be accessed through the \var{itemsize} attribute. The values +stored for \code{'L'} and \code{'I'} items will be represented as +Python long integers when retrieved, because Python's plain integer +type can't represent the full range of C's unsigned (long) integers.
