I think the Py_ssize_t change is clearly documented in the "What's new" document: http://docs.python.org/whatsnew/2.5.html#pep-353-using-ssize-t-as-the-index-type This paragraph also links to: http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0353/#doesn-t-this-break-much-code which happens to mention the incompatibility in the slice API. Didn't you get any compilation warning? I suggest to use a newer version of Scientific Python: 2.7 at least uses Py_ssize_t throughout its code.
