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.

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".
