CPython is written on C and provides C API.

Even if change the signature of one function, this will not help much, because a lot of other functions require "char *" instead of "const char *".

There is small disadvantage of changing the signature in a bugfix release. This will lead to incompatibility of your extension with older bugfix releases.
