I like Antoine's idea to replace the assertion with Py_FatalError() in debug mode. I'm more concerned by bugs in Python itself. A fatal error/assertion should be noticed quickly on buildbots which compile python in debug mode. It's just fine if other people use the release mode and get an exception. > May be add a runtime flag to control the reaction on system errors? If it set, all raised SystemError will be converted to fatal errors. It's already what I do when running Python test suite with pyfailmalloc. I modify manually SystemError constructor in the C code. A flag may help, but you have to know that many tests expect SystemError (I don't remember which ones).
