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. > > Ronald > > >> -- >> Marc-Andre Lemburg >> eGenix.com >> >> Professional Python Services directly from the Source (#1, Mar 17 >> 2006) >>>>> Python/Zope Consulting and Support ... http:// >>>>> www.egenix.com/ >>>>> mxODBC.Zope.Database.Adapter ... http:// >>>>> zope.egenix.com/ >>>>> mxODBC, mxDateTime, mxTextTools ... http:// >>>>> python.egenix.com/ >> ______________________________________________________________________ >> __ >> >> ::: Try mxODBC.Zope.DA for Windows,Linux,Solaris,FreeBSD for >> free ! :::: >> _______________________________________________ >> Python-Dev mailing list >> Python-Dev@python.org >> http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev >> Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/ >> ronaldoussoren%40mac.com > > _______________________________________________ > Python-Dev mailing list > Python-Dev@python.org > http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev > Unsubscribe: > http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/mal%40egenix.com -- Marc-Andre Lemburg eGenix.com Professional Python Services directly from the Source (#1, Mar 18 2006) >>> Python/Zope Consulting and Support ... http://www.egenix.com/ >>> mxODBC.Zope.Database.Adapter ... http://zope.egenix.com/ >>> mxODBC, mxDateTime, mxTextTools ... http://python.egenix.com/ ________________________________________________________________________ ::: Try mxODBC.Zope.DA for Windows,Linux,Solaris,FreeBSD for free ! :::: _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
