User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:59.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/59.0
Build Identifier:

When compiling with Python 3.4., I get the following error:

In file included from ../../../../../../sql/backends/monet5/UDF/pyapi3/pyapi3.c:13:0:
../../../../../../sql/backends/monet5/UDF/pyapi3/../pyapi/pyapi.c: In function 'PYAPI3PyAPIprelude':
../../../../../../sql/backends/monet5/UDF/pyapi3/../pyapi/pyapi.c:1313:3: error: implicit declaration of function 'Py_DecodeLocale' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
wchar_t* program = Py_DecodeLocale("mserver5", NULL);

wchar_t* program = Py_DecodeLocale("mserver5", NULL);
^
I am compiling under Debian Jessie and I have python3-dev version 3.4.2-2 installed. The directory /usr/include/python3.4m/, which contains Python.h, indeed does not contain the string Py_DecodeLocale. Also, some googleing suggests that this function was introduced in Python 3.5.

I guess that this is OK, but should be documented. Better yet, the configure script should test for that and disable Python integration if only Python 3.4 was found. (If I do that, compilation works fine.)

Reproducible: Always
