[New-bugs-announce] [issue30817] Abort in PyErr_PrintEx() when no memory

[Xavier de Gaye]

New submission from Xavier de Gaye:

To reproduce the abort (the set_nomemory() function is being added to _testcapi in issue 30695):

$ ./python memerr.py
python: Objects/call.c:89: _PyObject_FastCallDict: Assertion `!PyErr_Occurred()' failed.
Aborted (core dumped)

The corresponding backtrace:
