Sorry, something went wrong.
Destructors can run after finalization has cleared the interpreter's lazy_modules set and lazy_pending_submodules dict. Declaring or resolving a lazy import from one of them passed NULL to PySet_Add(), PySet_Discard() or the pending-submodules lookup. Treat the bookkeeping as a no-op once the state is gone, as the other readers of this state already do.

Additional finalizers can run after finalize_modules() has cleared the interpreter's lazy_modules set and lazy_pending_submodules dict. In the perfect storm, this can lead to a seg fault when accessing either container without checking if the object is still allocated.
