Description of problem: I've been writing an experimental static analysis tool to detect bugs commonly occurring within C Python extension modules: https://fedorahosted.org/gcc-python-plugin/ http://gcc-python-plugin.readthedocs.org/en/latest/cpychecker.html http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/StaticAnalysisOfPythonRefcounts I ran the latest version of the tool (in git master; post 0.9) on python-jinja-1.2-7.fc17.src.rpm, and it reports various errors. You can see a list of errors here, triaged into categories (from most significant to least significant): http://fedorapeople.org/~dmalcolm/gcc-python-plugin/2012-03-05/python-jinja-1.2-7.fc17/ I've manually reviewed the issues reported by the tool. Within the category "Segfaults within error-handling paths" the 3 issues reported appear to be genuine crashers under low-memory conditions, where the code assumes that PyMem_Malloc() succeeds. Within the category "Returning (PyObject*)NULL without setting an exception" the 1 issue reported appears to be a genuine bug: PyMem_Malloc() doesn't set an exception when it fails. There may of course be other bugs in my checker tool. Hope this is helpful; let me know if you need help reading the logs that the tool generates - I know that it could use some improvement.

Not sure what to do with this bug. jinja is not actively developed anymore. In Fedora, only olpc-library depends on it. So I guess upstream is not interested in fixing these bugs, and I don't have enough time to do so. If you provide patches, I'll happily integrate them though. The speedup module is now part of python-markupsafe, so maybe one can backport something from there.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 19 development cycle. Changing version to '19'. (As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 19 development cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 19 End Of Life. Thank you.)
