[New-bugs-announce] [issue4949] Constness in PyErr_NewException

[Andreas Kloeckner]

New submission from Andreas Kloeckner <inform at tiker.net>:

The "name" argument to PyErr_NewException() should be changed from "char
*" to "const char *". Since the rest of pyerrors.h is const-correct,
this seems like an omission.
