I wrote GH-32357 to check in debug mode that tp_dealloc functions leave the current exception unchanged. You can use attached unicode_dealloc_bug.patch to inject a bug to test my PR. Example ("make" is enough to trigger the bug):
---
Fatal Python error: _Py_Dealloc: Deallocator of type 'str' cleared the current exception
Python runtime state: initialized
