  PyAPI_FUNC(type): Declares a public Python API function and return type
  PyAPI_DATA(type): Declares public Python data and its type
  PyMODINIT_FUNC:   A Python module init function.  If these functions are
                    inside the Python core, they are private to the core.
                    If in an extension module, it may be declared with
                    external linkage depending on the platform.

  As a number of platforms support/require "__declspec(dllimport/dllexport)",
  we support a HAVE_DECLSPEC_DLL macro to save duplication.
