[Python-Dev] building with C++ (original) (raw)

I've done a lot of the work to get Python to build with g++ - this was suggested a while ago as a useful thing to take advantage of C++'s more stringent type checking. There's a few more little bits and pieces to be done, and it looks like a bunch of extern "C" {}s need to be sprinkled through the code as a form of magic pixie dust. I can't spend much more time on this now, but if someone wants to take over and finish it off, that'd be great. Note that I have only addressed errors, not warnings - there's a bunch of odd looking warnings around the place, such as the code in PyLong_AsUnsignedLongLong that returns a -1 despite the return value being declared as unsigned...
