[New-bugs-announce] [issue37588] Py_DEPRECATED and unavoidable warnings

[Phil Thompson]

New submission from Phil Thompson <phil at riverbankcomputing.com>:

I have a number of static PyTypeObject declarations. In order to avoid compiler warnings about missing field initialisers I always provide explicit 0 values for unused fields (protected by #if PY_HEX_VERSION >= ...). However with v3.8b2 this triggers new warnings from Py_DEPRECATED because of the initialiser for tp_print.

I would like some way of locally suppressing Py_DEPRECATED. The attached trivial patch would do this by allowing me to define a null Py_DEPRECATED before including Python.h.
