I'm curious about the difference between

floatsubtypenew in floatobject.c complexsubtypefromccomplex in complexobject.c The former uses type->tpalloc(type, 0) to create memory for the object while the latter uses PyTypeGenericAlloc(type, 0) to create memory for the sub-type (thereby by-passing the sub-type's own memory allocator). It seems like this is a bug. Shouldn't type->tpalloc(type, 0) also be used in the case of allocating complex subtypes?

I submitted an entry and a patch for this on SourceForge Tracker (#1498638)
