Yes, there are some functions which evaporated and I have never heard a reason why and how I am supposed to overcome their removal. E.g., when porting M2Crypto to Python3 I had to reimplement my own (bad) version of `FILE* PyFile_AsFile(PyObject *pyfile)` function (https://is.gd/tgQGDw). I think it is obvious why it is necessary for C bindings, and I have never found a way how to get the underlying FILE handle from the Python File object properly. Just my €0.02.
