Why PyImport_ExecCodeModule takes char*?

[Mateusz Loskot]

Hi,

I'm wondering, why PyImport_ExecCodeModule function takes char*
instead of const char*?

Best regards,

My guess is "history".

I believe some const tags have been added over the last few years.
Another factory than mere history for some things is portability across
platforms and the main compilers.
