PyLong_FromLong sets an exception when it fails, so the call to PyObject_SetAttrString is unsafe. We should return NULL instead of switching to Py_XDECREF.
But, as @sergey-miryanov mentioned, this can't fail for integers <255. I think it's also reasonable to add an assertion here instead of adding error handling.
…case and can't return NULL. Added assert for extra confidence. python#134411 (comment)

I think it'd be a good idea to add a comment explaining why it can't ever fail.
