I think it would be better if everything dealing with FILE* was a macro rather than a function, yes. How would that help?

Macros (and, as Antoine pointed out, inline functions) will never cross C runtime boundaries, even on Windows. They'll get compiled in when the extension module is built and linked to a C runtime library from there, so it won't matter if that differs from the one that is linked to the Python binary.

Cheers, Nick.
