That gets you the OS handle but the FILE* has a whole bunch of other crud
inside like a buffer, current offsets and eol handling.  If it is just a one
time transfer from Python to C or vice versa then it could work, but if both
use the file/FILE concurrently then chances are you'll end up with file
corruption.
