OK, I fixed sysloc.in so that I could configure with:

PYTHON_INC_DIR=/usr/include/python1.5 ./configure --enable-python

and get the correct Numeric arrayobject.h file.  But still no go:

trinity$ python ./pythondemos.py 
Traceback (innermost last):
  File "./pythondemos.py", line 15, in ?
    from plplot import *
  File "/home/mjl/dev/plplot/plpy/tmp/plplot.py", line 20, in ?
    from plplotc import *
ImportError: /home/mjl/dev/plplot/plpy/tmp/plplotcmodule.so: undefined symbol:
PySequence_Fast_GET_ITEM

Turns out plplotcmodule.i relies on some things present in 2.x but not in 1.5,
such as this macro define and the PySequence_Size() call.  The macro define
could probably just be replicated here but dunno what to do about
PySequence_Size().  Grep for these in python's abstract.h file for more info.
