[issue20434] Process crashes if not enough memory to import module

[STINNER Victor]

STINNER Victor added the comment:

Ah yes, the bytes object is set to NULL. In fact, you don't need to call Py_CLEAR(&retval) in case of error, because retval is already NULL. Could you please update your patch to just do nothing on retval in case of error please?

> 3.4 hasn't the problem.

Yes, I played some weeks with pyfailmalloc, a new tool for Python 3.4 to inject random MemoryError errors. I fixed many other different issues.
