You aren't doing anything wrong. I've tried to compile your code and it
didn't give me any errors.
I use MinGW GCC 2.95 under Windows 2000. You only forgot to #include
<Python.h>, but I don't think that's the problem.

Possibly, this is your compiler's fault. What compiler are you using, what
arguments are for it?
