In Python 3.5, I decided to rename the public "PyMemAllocator" structure to PyMemAllocatorEx when I added a new "calloc" member. C extensions using "PyMemAllocator" fail to build to force developers to set the calloc member.

IMO it's unfortunate to have to rename a structure to force developers to update their C code :-(
