Here is patch, please review and let me know if further
revisions are necessary. Not sure if the comment line in
each error case is helpful or a distraction.

Performance difference is negligable for the common
'success' case. If multiple arguments raise exceptions it is
undefined which one is current when the function returns. A
NULL will still be returned if there are any exceptions.

(my first Python patch, exciting)
