    22> So, does anyone have suggestions on how to rewrite the ugly nested try blocks in `PowComputer_flint_unram.__cinit__`?  Julian and I couldn't think of a better way to do it that would never have a memory leak or a double free.

So, the `try`/`except` is pointless. As far as I can tell, there are two kinds of exceptions which can happen: a `MemoryError` in MPIR or a `KeyboardInterrupt`. In both cases, the exception will be raised by `sig_on()` and none of the `finally` blocks are executed.

    66If you want to be absolutely correct, every single allocation should be wrapped individually in `sig_on()`/`sig_off()`. Example for 2 allocations:
