Can PyDict_SetItem() fail?  If so, shouldn't we be recovering from that
failure by cleaning up memory and returning a proper error, rather than
blindly proceeding on?  We ought to fix all PyDict_SetItem clients in
the same way as part of a global cleanup patch in the python directory,
which will have the side effect of fixing the memory leaks in the process.
