[Python] Applied patch SF#2158938: all the SWIG symbol names started with Py
are changed, since they are inappropriate and discouraged in Python
documentation (from http://www.python.org/doc/2.5.2/api/includes.html):
"All user visible names defined by Python.h (except those defined by
the included standard headers) have one of the prefixes "Py" or "_Py".
Names beginning with "_Py" are for internal use by the Python implementation
and should not be used by extension writers. Structure member names do
not have a reserved prefix.
Important: user code should never define names that begin with "Py" or "_Py".
This confuses the reader, and jeopardizes the portability of the user
code to future Python versions, which may define additional names beginning
with one of these prefixes."
Here is a brief list of what changed:
PySwig* -> SwigPy*
PyObject_ptr -> SwigPtr_PyObject
PyObject_var -> SwigVar_PyObject
PySequence_Base, PySequence_Cont, PySequence_Ref ->
SwigPySequence_Base, SwigPySequence_Cont, SwigPySequence_Ref
PyMap* -> SwigPyMap*
We provided a pyname_compat.i for backward compatibility. Users whose code having
these symbols and do not want to change it could simply include this file
at front of your code. A better solution is to run the converting tool on
your code, which has been put in SWIG's SVN trunk (Tools/pyname_patch.py) and
you can download it here:
