Wouldn't it be best to forward declare the functions (which poses no 
problem), THEN define the static array as above, then define the 
functions. It's certainly more work than the current way (forward declar=
e 
the static array), but also less exotic. The "64" there bugs me a lot, a=
nd 
creates new portability problems I bet.

Another way that imposes less work would be this:

statichere struct HandlerInfo* handler_info =3D 0;

...

statichere struct HandlerInfo handler_info_array[]=3D
{{"StartElementHandler", 
...
};

void
initpyexpat(){
	handler_info =3D handler_info_array;
...
}

That also resembles the code that is used to backfill the PyType_Type 
pointers:

	Xmlparsetype.ob_type =3D &PyType_Type;
