Yeah, I was a bit surprised as well. I won't claim to have any
familiarity with the Python C API, though. Py_Deprecated() is simply
defined as:

/* Py_DEPRECATED(version)
* Declare a variable, type, or function deprecated.
* Usage:
* extern int old_var Py_DEPRECATED(2.3);
* typedef int T1 Py_DEPRECATED(2.4);
* extern int x() Py_DEPRECATED(2.5);
*/
#if defined(__GNUC__) && ((__GNUC__ >= 4) || \
(__GNUC__ == 3) && (__GNUC_MINOR__ >= 1))
#define Py_DEPRECATED(VERSION_UNUSED) __attribute__((__deprecated__))
#else
#define Py_DEPRECATED(VERSION_UNUSED)
#endif

Quite possibly. Anyone have any suggestions?
