On failure, _PyBytes_Resize() will deallocate the bytes object and set "result" to NULL.

Let's rewrite the block to conform to the style of other _PyBytes_Resize calls. There is no need to check the return value of _PyBytes_Resize, because the function returns result any way.

if (nbytes < len) {
    _PyBytes_Resize(&result, len);
}

The current code doesn't have any effect and errors in BIO_read() are not handled.

Py_DECREF(result);
return NULL;
if (nbytes < len) {
_PyBytes_Resize(&result, len);

This operation doesn't have any effect. There should be nbytes instead of len. Note that nbytes can be negative, this denotes an error.
