Subject: [PATCH] brlapi: Fix python crash on connection error
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

From Lukáš Tyrychtr:
“
Cython 3.0 started using the new Python object finalization APIs from PEP 442
”

This means that __del__ gets called even when raising an exception from
__init__, while it was not before. To cope with both behaviors, we can
set self.h to NULL to determine whether it still exists or not.

Thanks Lukáš Tyrychtr for the investigation and patch draft!
