The module didn't compile. I am building for Python 2.5 using gcc 3.4.5 
under MinGW. This is the error message I got:

src/pixelarray.c:176: error: initializer element is not constant
src/pixelarray.c:176: error: (near initialization for 
`PyPixelArray_Type.tp_getattro')

This is the location in the code:

static PyTypeObject PyPixelArray_Type =
{
   PyObject_HEAD_INIT(NULL)
....
   PyObject_GenericGetAttr,    /* tp_getattro */  <---

I have seen this before. PyObject_GenericGetAttr is an imported 
function, so not a constant. Such slot assignments must be done in the 
module's init function.
