There are some other functions with strange/variable prototype:
http://docs.python.org/dev/library/fcntl.html?highlight=ioctl#fcntl.ioctl
http://docs.python.org/dev/library/mmap.html?highlight=mmap.mmap#mmap.mmap
(and maybe others)

These Python functions are thin wrapper of the C function, that's why their 
prototype can be surprising.
