Systematically finding bugs in Python C extensions (575+ confirmed so far) Greetings all, Python’s C extension ecosystem contains a large class of subtle correctness bugs that are rarely caught by testing or linters. Over the past two weeks, I’ve been running a systematic analysis across 44 extensions (~960K LOC), resulting in 575+ confirmed bugs (~10-15% false positive rate after review, ~140 reproduced from Python) and fixes already merged in 14 projects including Pillow, h5py, Cython, lxml,...
