Summary: missing Py_DECREF in PyObject_CallMethod

Initial Comment:
Once PyObject *func has been successfully returned by 
PyObject_GetAttrString(), the ref count is not 
decremented by any of the error exit cases from 
PyObject_CallMethod(). After the check that func is not 
NULL, there are four error case exits that do not 
decrement the ref count on func.
