[issue5627] PyDict_SetItemString() fails when the second argument is null

[Euler Taveira de Oliveira]

Euler Taveira de Oliveira <euler at timbira.com> added the comment:

It seems PyDict_DelItemString() and PyDict_SetItem() suffer from the
same disease. :( Both use assert() to detect a null pointer but fail to
prevent it. As I stated in the previous comment, maybe the right fix is
to replace assert() with the 'if (foo == NULL) return whatever'.
