description: The C API for Python extenstions changed between Python 2.4 (RHEL5) and Python 2.6/2.7 (RHEL6/Fedora 15).

The effect we see are compilation warnings because some of the structures (PyMethodDef, PyTypeObject.tp_name for instance) changed from "char " to "const char ". Older version that still use "char *" emit compilation warnings if string constants are used.

We should use the special sss_py_const_p() macro in these cases the same way we do in src/python/pyhbac.c => The C API for Python extenstions changed between Python 2.4 (RHEL5) and Python 2.6/2.7 (RHEL6/Fedora 15).
