Research direction
Start by reading the Python 3.6 What's New entry for struct and the referenced PR 1457, then locate the _struct implementation in IronPython. Check how .NET 6.0 exposes System.Half and determine the existing coverage for struct formats; done means the e format is supported consistently with Python.
