[issue15108] Incomplete tuple created by PyTuple_New() and accessed via the GC can trigged a crash

[Raymond Hettinger]

Raymond Hettinger <raymond.hettinger at gmail.com> added the comment:

Unless there is a simple, reliable, cheap, and universal solution at hand, consider closing this.  Given how long PyTuple_New() has exist, it doesn't seem to be much of a problem in the real world.

Historically, we punted on "crashers" involving either gc.get_referrers or byte code hacks.  Both of those reach inside Python's black box, allowing disruption of otherwise sensible invariants.
