If I understand you right you want to alter the interface of PyFile_FromFile and PyFile_FromFileEx from PyFile_FromFileEx(FILE *fp, char *name, char *mode, int (*close)(FILE*), int buffering, char *encoding, char *newline) to PyFile_FromFileEx(int fd, char *name, char *mode, int (*close)(FILE*), int buffering, char *encoding, char *newline) ? I could write a patch and remove int (*close)(FILE*), too. It's no longer used by the functions.
