New submission from Barry Alan Scott <barry-sc...@users.sourceforge.net>:

Many Python API functions are causing GCC to rightly complain
that const char * strings are being passed to python functions
that take char * but do not need to modify the args.

g++ reports example.cxx:633: warning: deprecated conversion from string
constant to ‘char*’

The example I encountered today, while testing PyCXX against
G++ 4.2.1 on Mac OS X, was PyObject_CallMethod
but it is not limited to this function.

Would a patch help progress this issue?
