What version of Pyrex are you using? A change was made in
0.9.6 to accommodate Python 2.5's use of new-style classes
as exceptions. This looks like something resulting from
using an earlier version.

If you check the top of the generated .c file, it will
tell you which version of Pyrex was used to generate it.
