If the C code you're calling requires a FILE *, then you're
out of luck. There's no way of getting a FILE * from an object
that's not based on an actual PyFile object, since there
simply isn't one to be had.

There is an exception to that -- if the object is one that
has a file descriptor underlying it somewhere (such as a
pipe or socket) you could get that and wrap it using fdopen().
