Yes, PyFile_WriteString should serve your purposes (you'll pass
your C-like string as a char* first argument, a PyObject* for the
relevant Python file-like object as the second argument -- there's
a bug in the docs, they mention an unexplained third 'flags'
argument, but fileobject.h and fileobject.c show there is nothing
of the kind -- I've just submitted a correction to sourceforge).
