Proposed patch fixes the crash.
vadmium commentedon Nov 23, 2015
The patch looks good to me.
This may be a side effect of poor documentation. I guess the documentation at <https://docs.python.org/dev/c-api/typeobj.html#c.PyTypeObject.tp_setattro\> and/or the referenced functions should mention that the they also delete attributes when the name argument is null.

Thank you for your review Martin. Opened bpo-25701 for documenting.
Interestingly, 2.7 is free from this bug. It has a check for NULL.

This change didn't make it into 3.5.1. It will be released with 3.5.2. I've already updated the Misc/NEWS entry.
