Python file objects have a method fileno() whic returns the 'C file descriptor', i.e. the number used by low level IO in python as well as in C. I would use this as interface between python and C and then in the C function using fdopen to get a FILE * for an already open file for which you have a file descriptor.
But note that this will be a *new* stdio file buffer attached to the same file descriptor, not the same one that the Python file object is using. This may or may not be a problem depending on what you're trying to do. If you need the same FILE * that Python is using, you may need to use ctypes to extract it out of the file object. -- Greg -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
