the same works for the other two macros. Py_DEBUG implies them,
but not the other way around.
- 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.
+ 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 >= 3.5 and virtualenv
+ version >= 16.0.0. With older versions of either, you don't get a
+ copy of PYTHON3.DLL in the virtualenv. We can't check the version of
+ CPython *before* we even include pyconfig.h. ffi.set_source() puts
+ a ``#define _CFFI_NO_LIMITED_API'' at the start of this file if it is
+ running on Windows < 3.5, as an attempt at fixing it, but that's
+ arguably wrong because it may not be the target version of Python.
+ Still better than nothing I guess. As another workaround, you can
+ remove the definition of Py_LIMITED_API here.
+
+ See also 'py_limited_api' in cffi/setuptools_ext.py.
