PyString_FromString() [1] fails to return something useful, i.e, null pointer
when  its argument is null.  The trivial fix (that is attached) is to ensure
that we don't pass a null pointer as the second argument of
PyDict_SetItemString(). Of course, it's a Python bug and I filled it [3].

Me either. ;)
