Feature or enhancement

Proposal:

The existingPySys_GetObject() function has two issues:

• It returns a borrowed reference.
• It ignores errors.

I propose adding new functionsPySys_GetAttr() andPySys_GetAttrString() to get asys module attribute which return a strong reference and don't ignore errors.

API:

PyObject*PySys_GetAttr(PyObject*name)PyObject*PySys_GetAttrString(constchar*name)

• Return a new object (strong reference) on success.

• Set an exception and returnNULL on error:

  • Set anAttributeError if the attribute doesn't exist.
  • Set aRuntimeError if thesys module cannot be retrieved.

Has this already been discussed elsewhere?
