[New-bugs-announce] [issue35536] Calling built-in locals() and globals() in C++ leads to SystemError

[Никита Сиргиенко]

New submission from Никита Сиргиенко <warquark at gmail.com>:

System:
  Distributor ID: Ubuntu
  Description:    Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS
  Release:        18.04
  Codename:       bionic
  Arch:           x86_64

Compilier:
  g++ (Ubuntu 7.3.0-27ubuntu1~18.04) 7.3.0

Python versions:
  Python 3.6.7-1
  Python 2.7.15rc1

Description:
  This C++ code:

    PyObject* pBuiltin = PyImport_ImportModule("builtins");
    PyObject* py_globals_fun = PyObject_GetAttrString(pBuiltin,"locals");
    PyObject* globals = PyObject_CallObject(py_globals_fun, NULL);

  produces "SystemError: frame does not exist".
  For function "globals" output is "SystemError: returned NULL without 
  setting an error". For python2 this code produces similar errors (descriptions
  of error little different).

  Another functions with arguments, like "abs", works fine.
  And calling function with optional argument, like "int", "float" 
  works with this code (with null parameter) without problem.
