Perhaps something more user-friendly than the hexversion? Please propose something. I think the hexversion is user-friendly, +1 to the idea, and specifically to using hexversion here. +1 for the general idea and for using PyLIMITEDAPI. I still like my idea of a simple macro based on Include/patchlevel.h, for example: _#define PyAPIVERSION(major, minor, micro) _ (((major) << 24) | ((minor) << 16) | ((micro) << 8))_ _#if PyLIMITEDAPI+0 >= PyAPIVERSION(3, 3, 0) #endif

+1 to all 3 of those from me (the general idea, using hexversion, and providing a convenience macro to skip having to spell out hexversion manually).

Cheers, Nick.
