# 74 Object/funcobject.c:143 Suspicious deref of ptr before NULL check Not quite sure what it is complaining about, but else if (PyTupleCheck(closure)) { PyXINCREF(closure); } looks indeed suspicious: Why do we check for NULL (XINCREF) when we know closure can't be NULL (TupleCheck). Drop the X, and see if the warning goes away

In comparison, the PyFunction_SetDefaults function does check for NULL, and raises an error in this case. However, since it is a C API function only, passing NULL is an error anyway.
