If a builtin type that differs between Python 2 and 3 (e.g., unicode)
is imported, then malformed C code is emitted by Cython-0.17: there is
an extraneous, unbalanced #if.
Here's a small reproducer:
shell$ cat foo.pyx
cdef extern from "Python.h":
ctypedef class __builtin__.unicode [object PyU
Are there any plans to fix the "Assignment to reference" bug mentioned here?
