I developed a small Python module (150 lines of C code) to inject memory allocation failures: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyfailmalloc

Bitbucket was down, so I was unable to give the link to its source code. The server is back, here is the C code: https://bitbucket.org/haypo/pyfailmalloc/src/tip/failmalloc.c

You can see that it's now easy to develop such tools thanks to the PEP 445.
