You are probably talking about the great renaming between 1.4 and 1.5. That was different, since it changes almost all C APIs in Python. And it used the standard practice... from rename2.h in Python 1.5:
/* This file contains a bunch of #defines that make it possible to use "old style" names (e.g. object) with the new style Python source distribution. */
#define True Py_True #define False Py_False #define None Py_None
ie. #define <oldname> <newname>
This is what I expected to see in stringobject.h, along with some code in stringobject.c to allow the linker to see the old names *as well as* the new names. At the moment, all the code appears to be using the new names, but stringobject.h implicitly converts the new names back to the old names - so trying to use ctypes to retrieve the PyBytes_* functions from the Python DLL will fail.
