Besides, how likely is it that users set a breakpoint on the PyBytes/PyString functions? Not very likely at all - but it would still be nice if the PyBytes* symbols were visible to the linker as well as the preprocessor. Right, that's a nice-to-have, an add-on. Why don't we just let Christian finish his work, which is vital for the beta release? Then it's still time to file a bug report on the missing bits and provide a patch that adds linker symbols for PyBytes*() in Py2.6 as an additional feature.

Yeah, it took me a while to get my head around what he was trying to do, but GPS explained it pretty well elsewhere in this thread.

Cheers, Nick.
