Package: python2.4-dev
Version: 2.4.2-2
Severity: normal
The installed include/python2.4/pyconfig.h file, included e.g. from
include/python2.4/Python.h clobbers the macro space with defining e.g.
_POSIX_C_SOURCE, which results in a verbose compiler warning with gcc:
In file included from /usr/include/python2.4/Python.h:8,
<snip include stack rest>
/usr/include/python2.4/pyconfig.h:835:1: warning: "_POSIX_C_SOURCE" redefined

These macros are for _building_ libpython. In installed form, they should
_never_ blindly override what an application programmer specifies.
But that's what #include <Python.h> currently does.
Proposed solution: strip build-related macro-definitions on installation.
No other header file uses that define:
$ grep -R _POSIX /usr/include/python2.4
/usr/include/python2.4/pyconfig.h:/* #undef HAVE_BROKEN_POSIX_SEMAPHORES */
/usr/include/python2.4/pyconfig.h:#define _POSIX_C_SOURCE 200112L
/usr/include/python2.4/pyconfig.h:/* #undef _POSIX_THREADS */
