STINNER Victor added the comment: According to Amaury an IRC, replacing "Py_XDECREF(obj->attr); obj->attr = NULL;" pattern with "Py_CLEAR(obj->attr);" should fix the issue.
Instead of opening one issue per occurence of this pattern, it is possible to write a semantic patch to do the replace on the whole CPython project using the Coccinelle tool. http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/ See for example attached py_clear.spatch semantic patch. Install coccinelle and run "spatch -in_place -sp_file py_clear.spatch -dir .". The result is the attached patch (python2.7_pyclear.patch). The patch is huge!
