​Yes, I got that problem too, which is why I switched it to METH_NOARGS.

I
​t does for me:

​
Python 3.2.5 (default, Aug 24 2014, 10:06:23)
[GCC 4.7.4] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import hello
>>> hello.hello()
hello world
0
>>>

​As you can see -- this is a Python 3.2 built with GCC 4.7 (On Gentoo
Linux).  It also works on Python 3.1 and 3.0 (but obviously doesn't work
for Python 2.X).  I can't tell why you're having so many problems...​  Try
doing a "git clean -fxd" to make sure you don't have leftover files lying
around somewhere that are causing grief.

Also, you need to add "-g" to the compiler arguments to make sure you build
with debug symbols if you want a meaningful traceback.

Good luck,
Jason
