TI make chips where the smallest addressable unit is 16-bits and sizeof(char) == sizeof(int) == 16 bits == 1 byte due to the way the C standard is written. I don't think Python is ported to any such chip at present (the one I use is a DSP, and I would seriously question the sanity of anyone who tried to run Python on one of these critters), but it's a possibility that shouldn't be ignored. Porting to such a machine would be rather entertaining (sizeof() gets a _lot_ of work in the code for that DSP).
