[New-bugs-announce] [issue21175] Refcounting error in str.translate fastpath

[Josh Rosenberg]

New submission from Josh Rosenberg:

Py_None is not being properly decref-ed in the str.translate fast path. I've attached a simple patch that fixes this (also corrects some comments and types in the same function).

No idea is Py_None ref leaks are considered a serious problem, but I figure it's better to be safe than sorry.
