[Pyrex] Mapping a stdio-FILE to a Python-file

You could use the following Python/C API function:

  FILE* PyFile_AsFile(PyFileObject *p)
    Returns the file object associated with p as a FILE*.

> Ideally, I would like Pyrex to directly map the file object to a FILE,
> since both are standard types in their respective languages.

That's an idea worth considering -- I'll add it to my list.
