CFieldrepr(): PyStringFromFormat() understands the C99 "z" qualifier on all platforms.

[Martin v. Löwis]

Unfortunately, only so in Python 2.5. If the code is also meant to be used for earlier versions, it won't work there at all.

Does that matter? I checked the patch in on the Python trunk, and that's 2.5 to me ;-) The change was in:

static void CField_repr(CFieldObject *self)

and:

typedef struct { PyObject_HEAD Py_ssize_t offset; Py_ssize_t size; Py_ssize_t index; /* Index into CDataObject's object array */ PyObject proto; / a type or NULL / GETFUNC getfunc; / getter function if proto is NULL / SETFUNC setfunc; / setter function if proto is NULL */ } CFieldObject;

has Py_ssize_t all over the place, and that's unique to 2.5 (so far) too, right?
