Maybe the value returned by __iter__() isn't what the interpreter is
expecting. Having said that, I think it's possible that the type structure
information created by SIP doesn't have the necessary fields filled in to
allow the object to be used to create an iterator, even if you define
__iter__() for this purpose.

Has anyone else encountered this problem, perhaps with tools other than SIP?
