All identifiers defined in pyport.h must begin with "Py_".  
pyport.h is (and must be) #include'd by extension modules, 
and we need the prefix to avoid stomping on their 
namespace, and to make clear (to them and to us) that the 
gimmicks are part of Python's portability layer.  A name 
like "SetErrno" is certain to conflict with some other 
package's attempt to worm around errno problems; Py_SetErrno
() is not.  Agree with Neal's final suggestion about 
dealing with  semicolons.
