FYI the Python 3.6 change in PyMem_Malloc() required to implement a new complex check on the GIL. Search for "PyMem_Malloc() now fails if the GIL is not held" in my following blog post: https://haypo.github.io/contrib-cpython-2016q1.html Requiring that the GIL is held is a backward incompatible change. I suggest to run your code with PYTHONMALLOC=debug on Python 3.6 ;-)
