I am using the Python C API to load the Gutenberg corpus from the nltk library 
and iterate through the sentences.  The Python code I am trying to replicate is:

from nltk.corpus import gutenberg
for i, fileid in enumerate(gutenberg.fileids()):
         sentences = gutenberg.sents(fileid)
         etc

where gutenberg.fileids is, of course, iterable.

I use the following C API code to import the module and get pointers:

int64_t Call_PyModule()
{
     PyObject *pModule, *pName, *pSubMod, *pFidMod, *pFidSeqIter,*pSentMod;

     pName = PyUnicode_FromString("nltk.corpus");
     pModule = PyImport_Import(pName);

     if (pModule == 0x0){
         PyErr_Print();
         return 1; }

     pSubMod = PyObject_GetAttrString(pModule, "gutenberg");
     pFidMod = PyObject_GetAttrString(pSubMod, "fileids");
     pSentMod = PyObject_GetAttrString(pSubMod, "sents");

     pFidIter = PyObject_GetIter(pFidMod);
     int ckseq_ok = PySeqIter_Check(pFidMod);
     pFidSeqIter  = PySeqIter_New(pFidMod);

     return 0;
}

pSubMod, pFidMod and pSentMod all return valid pointers, but the iterator lines 
return zero:

pFidIter = PyObject_GetIter(pFidMod);
int ckseq_ok = PySeqIter_Check(pFidMod);
pFidSeqIter  = PySeqIter_New(pFidMod);

So the C API thinks gutenberg.fileids is not iterable, but it is.  What am I 
doing wrong?

Look at your Python code. You have "gutenberg.fileids()", so the 'fileids' attribute is not an iterable itself, but a method that you need to call to get the iterable.
