The function I am trying to call wants a FILE *:

dlg_progressbox(const char *title,
		const char *cprompt,
		int height,
		int width,
		int pauseopt,
		FILE *fp)

I can open the file to be referenced:

fp = os.fdopen(self.pipefds[0], 'r')

Every thing I've tried ends with ctypes raising a TypeError.
