Sure, if it compiles without that def, I'll remove it from the patch. I
added it because I did all the development in an extension module, which
also included Python.h, but for some reason it gave me a "function
implicitly defined" error for using Py_ABS. Even though I had included
Python.h. Weird, right? So I assumed I had to leave it in the patch as
well. Thanks for pointing this out!
