Zachary Ware added the comment:

This is still causing a somewhat serious warning on Windows, see [1] for 
example.  The condition warned about affects every platform.

It took me some time to make sense of that function, but I think I finally 
understand what's going on.  I think Steve's suggestion of initializing module 
to Py_None would be fine, or just pass in a known good object like global 
instead since the 'obj' parameter is only used for error message formatting.  
Either way, I think the error check at Modules/_pickle.c:1657 [2] should either 
use reformat_attribute_error() or do the reformatting itself (to provide a 
different message) because I don't think the AttributeError message from 
get_dotted_path would be anywhere close to correct (especially if 'obj' is 
given as Py_None).

[2] Steve: the 'Comment:' label in the form is a handy link to the devguide 
section about how magic links work.  In this case, it's filepath.ext:number
