FYI, I have been using a mxpyapi.h header file for this the last
couple of years (see e.g. mxDateTime). Perhaps Python should 
ship with one of these as well, e.g. pycompat.h.

This include file would only be used by extensions wishing to
support older Python versions, of course, not by the Python 
core itself.
