The instructions for the C interface to the Python set class

  http://docs.python.org/c-api/set.html

say to use PyObject_GetIter and follow the iterator protocol. After
following the instructions for the iterator protocol here,

  http://docs.python.org/c-api/iter.html

I was able to successfully iterate through a set object. However,
PyIter_Check(obj) returns false yet set objects follow the iterator
protocol. Is this the correct behavior?

Thank you.

Kind regards,

Damian Eads

Set objects are iterable, they are not iterators themselves.
In other words, PyIter_Check() should return true when called with the
result of PyObject_GetIter() (but normally you don't need to check anyway).
