Eric,

The above is quite disturbing.  I find it hard to imagine successfully
including Python.h but not having the PyObject definition at this late
point in the file.

Is this all the errors you get?  Is it possible you get some earlier
errors that might give more clues?

Note, it is critical to have the python development package (which contains
Python.h) installed.
