The treatment of errors in module init functions seems to be simply charge ahead and do the inserts, and then do 'if (PyErrOccurred()) PyFatalError())'. 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 ( (PyDictSetItemStringInt(d, "foo", FOO)) == NULL || (PyDictSetItemStringInt(d, "bar", BAR)) == NULL || ... repeat for 187 more constants ...

:-)

So name it PyModule_AddConstant(module, name, constant), which fails with "can't add constant to module" err msg.
