The type Py_ssize_t isn't defined in Python 2.4. I don't have Python 2.5 
anywhere at the moment, so I can't tell if a long term fix is possible 
without some conditional code for Python 2.5 (don't know what type Py_ssize_t 
is).

If you want a quick fix, just find the offending variables and cast them to 
Py_ssize_t (or declare them to that type). 

I have a turkey to cook at the moment, so I won't be getting to this today.
