Re: Upcoming PyCXX releases

[Barry S. <ba...@ba...>]

I am nearing the point of releasing PyCXX 7.0.0.

It fixes a number of issues with using 32bit offsets when python uses 64 bit offsets.

What this means is that code will fail to compile against 7.0.0 until long/int is
replaces with Py_ssize_t for example in the return type for a sequence_length().

The other change is in the setup of types. You can now tell PyCXX which functions
to hook up to python on a function by function choice.

I encourage any of you that depend on PyCXX to test out the 7.0.0 code from SVN and
see what you think.
