PyObject_Size(), PySequence_Size() and PyMapping_Size() can raise an exception. But not always this is checked after using them. This can lead to a crash. For example:
>>> import io
>>> class R(io.IOBase):
... def readline(self): return None
... 
>>> next(R())
Fatal Python error: a function returned a result with an error set
TypeError: object of type 'NoneType' has no len() 
The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:
SystemError: <built-in function next> returned a result with an error set
