Four options come to mind: - just leave it out of the limited API, extensions can do their own thing to print objects - leave PyObjectPrint out of the limited API, but create a PyObjectPrintEx that takes a Python IO stream via PyObject* rather than a C level FILE*. - leave PyObjectPrint out of the limited API, but create a PyObjectPrintEx that takes function pointers for the above 4 operations (so the FILE* pointer is only every operated on by functions from the extension module's CRT) - leave PyObjectPrint out of the limited API, but create a PyObjectPRINT macro that does much the same thing with the logic rearranged so there is an inner function that figures out the string to be printed, but an outer macro that does all the operations on the FILE * object (so again, the FILE * is never passed to Python's CRT)

Fifth option:
