Not sure if that helps here, but Python file objects have a function
called fileno() to return the file number.

How to wrap call backs is explained here:
http://www.swig.org/Doc1.3/SWIG.html#n30

So basically you just need to wrap the C function to an pointer, and pass that
pointer to swig.

A simple example is given here:
