New submission from Géry <gery.o...@gmail.com>:
When
```
TypeError: __weakref__ slot disallowed: either we already got one, or
__itemsize__ != 0
```
is raised, the second condition `base->tp_itemsize != 0` (i.e. the base is a
*variable-length* type, like `int`, `tuple` and `bytes`) in the error message
is impossible since using a non-empty `__slots__` (e.g. `__slots__ =
('__weakref__',)`) for a subtype of a variable-length type raises a
```
TypeError: nonempty __slots__ not supported for subtype of '…'
```
earlier in the `type.__new__` implementation.
