Attached patch detects (when Python is compiled in debug mode) if functions that may clear the current exception are called with an exception set.

The check avoids loosing an exception.

The problem is that the test_sqlite fails with the patch applied. I will open a new patch for that.

I already added similar checks in functions of Python/ceval.c.

I opened the issue #21858 for that.

I don't think anymore that it's a good idea. Almost all C functions can replace the current Python exception. There is no reason to add assertions only in a few functions.
