[Python-Dev] Multiple Inclusion of Header Files (original) (raw)

However, I note that Boost.Python has to #include <patchlevel.h> because we have to apply workarounds before #including <Python.h> for certain versions of Python, so I wouldn't say that it's very unrealistic to think applications might need these files separately.

But this works fine without the protection; probably because patchlevel.h contains no C code, only preprocessor stuff.
