New submission from Nikita Sobolev <m...@sobolevn.me>:
Right now Lib/ctypes/test/test_python_api.py has these lines:
```
if sys.version_info > (2, 4):
c_py_ssize_t = c_size_t
else:
c_py_ssize_t = c_int
```

I think that there's no reason to keep code compat for python versions `<=2.3`.
Other modules in CPython do refactor this by removing old and unused code,
especially in tests.
I propose to do the same here.
