If you use the macro version, you binary module will break if the internals of the macro change across Python versions. If you use the function version, the module will continue to work even if the internals change. For example, a module compiled for Python 2.3, compiled on an installation that uses pymalloc, can be used even on an installation that has pymalloc disabled, if it only uses the function versions. The same is not guaranteed if uses the macro versions. Regards, Martin
