Summary: PyDict_Check() fails if object not dict

Initial Comment:

Calling PyDict_Check() on the keywords object passed
to an built-in extension module callback, when no
keyword arguments were given results in Python raising
an exception, rather than return 0 as it should.

I haven't seen your code, but I believe you may be seeing
this because the keywords argument can be NULL. 
PyDict_Check() should not be applied to a NULL pointer, so
the proper way to do this is to check for NULL before
calling PyDict_Check().
