Likewise, a FILE * isn't safe to pass around, unless I can guarantee that the application really is one big happy family compiled against the same version of the C library.

Given that, it seems to me that it's a mistake for Python to provide any APIs that take a FILE* directly in the first place.

Maybe PyObject_Print should be deprecated in favour of something that takes a Python I/O object instead.
