Compiling a project using this library sometimes throws the following error: "expected unqualified-id before ‘;’ token
190 | PyType_Slot *slots; "
Since Qt uses slots as a reserved keyword there is a clash with the declaration of the slots member of the PyType_Slot struct in Python.h. To avoid the conflict regarding 'slots', without the need for deactivating the keywords signals/slots/emit (which may be undesirable for large Qt projects), the code edit locally "parks" the offending keyword while Python.h is included, and then reassigns it.

For anyone wondering who stumbled upon this issue like I did, here is how you would "park" the definition of "slots":

#pragma push_macro("slots")
#undef slots
#include <Python.h>
#pragma pop_macro("slots")
