the same works for the other two macros. Py_DEBUG implies them,
but not the other way around.
- The implementation is messy (issue #350): on Windows, with _MSC_VER,
- we have to define Py_LIMITED_API even before including pyconfig.h.
- In that case, we guess what pyconfig.h will do to the macros above,
- and check our guess after the #include.
-
- Note that on Windows, with CPython 3.x, you need virtualenv version
- >= 16.0.0. Older versions don't copy PYTHON3.DLL. As a workaround
- you can remove the definition of Py_LIMITED_API here.

- See also 'py_limited_api' in cffi/setuptools_ext.py.
+ Issue #350 is still open: on Windows, the code here causes it to link
+ with PYTHON36.DLL (for example) instead of PYTHON3.DLL. A fix was
+ attempted in 164e526a5515 and 14ce6985e1c3, but reverted: virtualenv
+ does not make PYTHON3.DLL available, and so the "correctly" compiled
+ version would not run inside a virtualenv. We will re-apply the fix
+ after virtualenv has been fixed for some time. For explanation, see
+ issue #355. For a workaround if you want PYTHON3.DLL and don't worry
+ about virtualenv, see issue #350. See also 'py_limited_api' in
+ setuptools_ext.py.
