SystemError

Code SystemError · An issue reported by Python.

Raised when the interpreter finds an internal error, but the situation does not look so serious to cause it to abandon all hope. The associated value is a string indicating what went wrong (in low-level terms). In CPython, this could be raised by incorrectly using Python’s C API, such as returning a NULL value without an exception set. If you’re confident that this exception wasn’t your fault, or the fault of a package you’re using, you should report this to the author or maintainer of your Python interpreter. Be sure to report the version of the Python interpreter (sys.version; it is also printed at the start of an interactive Python session), the exact error message (the exception’s associated value) and if possible the source of the program that triggered the error.
