To answer your question slightly obliquely, can I offer you:

http://winsys.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/random/file_handles.py

which is, I think, coming close to what you want and will at
least illustrate the way of doing it. AFAICT you don't need
a Google sign-in or Javascript to access that code, but if 
you have any problems -- philosophical or technical -- let me
know and I can email you a copy directly.
