You can use a macro like this:

#if PYVERSIONHEX < 0x01060000 #define PyObjectNew PyObjectNEW #define PyObjectDel PyMemDEL #endif

I just realized that this may be unclear. You don't need to use the above macro to make your code work across versions. As long as you use PyMem_DEL and not free() to deallocate objects the code will work.
