The docs for PyMemMalloc say:

Requesting zero bytes returns a non-NULL pointer. ...

[Guido]

The whole post is a joke, right?

No -- I can't implement what the docs promise there.

You just mean that it can still return NULL when it runs out of memory, so the docs should say that?

The docs should be accurate, yes.
