Comment (by robertwb):

 This is a Cython error, not a coercion error. When something is returned
 from within a try block, it appears the (cached) exception is not
 released.

 {{{
 %cython
 def foo():
     try:
         return None
     except:
         pass
 }}}

 {{{
 %python
 def test():
     print get_memory_usage()
     for i in range(100000):
         try:
             foo()
             raise TypeError
         except TypeError:
             pass
     print get_memory_usage()
 }}}

 Now {{{test()}}} will leak.
