Hmm, for 1.5.1 modsupport.h says

#define PYTHON_API_VERSION 1007
#define PYTHON_API_STRING "1007"

and for 1.5.2 it says

#define PYTHON_API_VERSION 1007
#define PYTHON_API_STRING "1007"

Now that I have a 1.5.2 source tree to look at, I see
that patchlevel.h defines some new macros that didn't
exist before:

   This scheme was added in Python 1.5.2b2; before that time, only
PATCHLEVEL
   was available.  To test for presence of the scheme, test for
   defined(PY_MAJOR_VERSION).

Thanks,
