Error checking is somewhat more controversial because behavior in case of error differs between situations and coding patterns. I think it should be up to the calling code to check for s_update remaining NULL. In my example, I would expect PyObject_CallMethodObj and similar to raise InternalError when passed a NULL pointer. Since their return values are already checked, this should be enought to cover the unlikely case of identifier creation failing.
