They certainly "should" be checked, but as a pragmatic matter
PyInt_FromLong(1) can't fail -- Python allocates an int object for 1
(and for about 100 other popular little integers) when it starts up,
and PyInt_FromLong() just returns a new reference to these
pre-existing objects whenever possible.  So, wrt:

> I'd say the first step should be to add checks

that's probably not going to help.  I'd make it the fourth thing <wink>.
