[Python-Dev] PyTuple_Pack with NULL argument

[Lisandro Dalcin]

Currently, PyTuple_Pack() does not check for NULL arguments, so it is
going to segfault in this case. Is this intended for performance
reasons?

[Guido van Rossum]

Yes, a tuple containing NULL should never be exposed to Python code --
it should only ever be a temporary result in C code. The C code should
ensure all tuple items are non-NULL before passing the tuple off to
Python (or even to its caller, in most cases).
