[Cython] error with cimport python_version

[Case Vanhorsen]

I'm probably doing something wrong, but I'm getting an error when I
try to compile the following:

cimport python_version


print hex(python_version.PY_VERSION_HEX)


The error message is:

using Cython
running build_ext
cythoning test.pyx to test.c

If I comment out the last two lines of python_version, it does compile
properly and I get the correct hex value. I tried both 0.10.3 and
cython-devel.

Suggestions?
