The treatment of errors in module init functions seems to be simply
charge ahead and do the inserts, and then do 'if (PyErr_Occurred())
Py_FatalError())'.  The new function will probably return NULL if
there's an error, but I doubt anyone will check it; it's too ungainly
to write 
  if ( (PyDict_SetItemStringInt(d, "foo", FOO)) == NULL ||
       (PyDict_SetItemStringInt(d, "bar", BAR)) == NULL || 
       ... repeat for 187 more constants ...
