I found that naive conditions in def extern from ... blocks are not allowed. For example if I use something like this:
from cpython.object cimport PyObject, PyObject_Hash
from cpython.version cimport PY_MAJOR_VERSION, PY_MINOR_VERSION
cdef extern from "Python.h":
if PY_MAJOR_VERSION >= 3 and PY_MINOR_VERSION >= 5:
PyObject* _PyDict_GetItem_KnownHash(object mp, object key, Py_hash_t hash)
if not (PY_MAJOR_VERSION >= 3 and PY_MINOR_VERSION >= 5):
def _PyDict_GetItem_KnownHash(object mp, object key, Py_hash_t hash):
return mp[key]
...
When trying to %%cython this it aborts with the error:
Error compiling Cython file:
------------------------------------------------------------
...
from cpython.object cimport PyObject, PyObject_Hash

Is there a (working) way to use conditionals when importing functions with cython "from extern" or any alternatives?
