<h2><a name="introduction" id=
"introduction"></a>Introduction</h2>
<p>Python 2.5 introduces a new <tt>Py_ssize_t</tt> typedef and
two related macros (<a href=
"http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0353/">PEP 353</a>). The
<tt>&lt;boost/python/ssize_t.hpp&gt;</tt> header imports these
definitions into the <tt>boost::python</tt> namespace as
<tt>ssize_t</tt>, <tt>ssize_t_max</tt>, and <tt>ssize_t_min</tt>.
Appropriate definitions are provided for backward compatibility
with previous Python versions.</p>
<h2><a name="typedefs" id="typedefs"></a>Typedefs</h2>Imports
<tt>Py_ssize_t</tt> into the <tt>boost::python</tt> namespace if
available, or provides an appropriate typedef for backward
compatibility:
<pre>
#if PY_VERSION_HEX &gt;= 0x02050000
typedef Py_ssize_t ssize_t;
#else
typedef int ssize_t;
#endif
</pre>
<h2><a name="constants" id="constants"></a>Constants</h2>Imports
<tt>PY_SSIZE_T_MAX</tt> and <tt>PY_SSIZE_T_MIN</tt> as constants
into the <tt>boost::python</tt> namespace if available, or
provides appropriate constants for backward compatibility:
<pre>
#if PY_VERSION_HEX &gt;= 0x02050000
ssize_t const ssize_t_max = PY_SSIZE_T_MAX;
ssize_t const ssize_t_min = PY_SSIZE_T_MIN;
#else
ssize_t const ssize_t_max = INT_MAX;
ssize_t const ssize_t_min = INT_MIN;
#endif
</pre>
