The version number of the Python C API was incremented, so C
extensions compiled for 1.5.2 must be recompiled in order to work with
! 2.0. On Windows, attempting to import a third party extension built
! for Python 1.5.x usually results in an immediate crash; there's not
! much we can do about this. (Here's Mark Hammond's explanation of the
! reasons for the crash. The 1.5 module is linked against
! \file{Python15.dll}. When \file{Python.exe} , linked against
! \file{Python16.dll}, starts up, it initializes the Python data
! structures in \file{Python16.dll}. When Python then imports the
! module \file{foo.pyd} linked against \file{Python15.dll}, it
! immediately tries to call the functions in that DLL. As Python has
! not been initialized in that DLL, the program immediately crashes.)
