I'm not sure if this is what Marc-Andre means, but maybe these definitions could go into a new include file: How would that include file be used? You would have to copy it into your own source base, and include it, right? We could put it into a b/w compatibility header file, e.g. #include "pycompat.h" But wouldn't this header be needed on versions of python before 2.5?

Yes. Ideally it should work on more Python versions than just Python 2.5.

I have such a compatibility header file for the mx Extensions (called mxpyapi.h and included in egenix-mx-base).

It includes #defines such as the one Thomas proposed for Python back to version 1.5.

That would make inclusion of a pycompat.h header with python 2.5 less useful.

Why is that ? For older versions you can copy it into your extension's include directory. With the usual #ifdef PYCOMPAT_H wrapper this won't get included if Python already includes the header file via #include "Python.h".

Including the completed block into the pep would be useful.
