Edit the code as mentioned in section 3.24 of the FAQ.

That is, kjbuckets has several extension types.  There will be lines
like the following (taken from the FAQ, not kjbuckets):

  statichere PyTypeObject bstreamtype = {
      PyObject_HEAD_INIT(&PyType_Type)
      0,
      "bstream",
      sizeof(bstreamobject),
  ...


Replace &PyType_Type with NULL.  Then add something like the following
line to the initialization module:

      bstreamtype.ob_type = &PyType_Type;

Repeat for all extension types.

Don't know what's happening here.
