The PyType_Slot documentation says that the pointer may not be NULL: https://docs.python.org/3/c-api/type.html?highlight=pytype_fromspec#c.PyType_Slot.PyType_Slot.pfunc If you change this, why do it only for tp_doc, but for all the slots? NULL should always mean that the slot is set to NULL instead of inherited. (Except maybe in cases where this is dangerous; then it should result in an error?) See: https://bugs.python.org/issue26979 If you want to only change this for tp_doc, please also update the PyType_Slot documentation to cover the exception.

If you change this, why do it only for tp_doc, but for all the slots? NULL should *always* mean that the slot is set to NULL instead of inherited. (Except maybe in cases where this is dangerous; then it should result in an error?)
