This question really has nothing to do with Python; you just want to know
how to make an ostream given a FILE*. It's unfortunate that C++ doesn't
have such a facility built-in. I think the right way to do this is to build
a streambuf around the FILE*. I believe "The C++ Standard Library", by
Nicolai Josuttis, contains the code for such a thing. You might also look
at newsgroup postings by Dietmar Kuehl.

Good Luck,
