@pablogsal Please take a look. I saw your fixed some calls (#129557), I added a few more exceptions. I also added a check of the result before it is used.

@sergey-miryanov: Why did you mark this PR as a draft? Do you expect to add more changes? Or is there something else?

@vstinner oops! I forgot to un-draft it. Thanks!

@vstinner Please take a look.

Thanks @sergey-miryanov for the PR, and @vstinner for merging it 🌮🎉.. I'm working now to backport this PR to: 3.13.

Sorry, @sergey-miryanov and @vstinner, I could not cleanly backport this to 3.13 due to a conflict.

@vstinner It looks like a lot of changes were made on 3.14 branch and not on 3.13. Should we backport this PR then?

The automated backport failed because of merge conflicts.

@sergey-miryanov: Can you please try to backport this change manually to 3.13?

@vstinner I tried yesterday yet. There are commits that not backported:

Should I backport them all?

@pablogsal: Modules/_testexternalinspection.c lacks many backports in the 3.13 branch. Is it a deliberate choice? Or should we backport these changes to 3.13?

3.13 has half the test cases because there is no async-related introspection and most of the bugs we have been fixing are in the new code. I will try to go over the PRs and see if anything applies to the other code that we had

Reminder about backporting. @sergey-miryanov

I'm afraid it is on @pablogsal side now. I'm not against of backporting those commits and if we decide to do this I'm ready to work on backporting.

If it was decided to not backport this, please remove the "needs backport to 3.13" label.

It is on @pablogsal side to take decision of backporting this. I will remove "need backport@ label for now.
