To me, this indicates that the restraint was read, but that there is
no atom named "C" in residue number 10. You might place this line
immediately before the above block to see it this is the case:

print( len(AtomSel("resid 10 and name C")) )

Also, please double-check your input PDB file, to make certain that
atom is present.

Please check back if you continue to have problems.
