Some C-API functions clear the error indicator?

Maybe if you provide an actual use case we can suggest how to handle it.  
The code in your original post does not make any sense to me (except by  
showing that PyImport_ImportModule does clear the error indicator). If you  
already know there was an error, and you even have retrieved the error  
details, why do you care if the error indicator gets reset?
