Is that code available somewhere still? Does it still work?

I would like to see minimal changes only. I don't see why massive
refactoring would be necessary: the structure of the code should
persist - only the data types should change from char* to PyObject*.
Calls like stat() and open() should be generalized to accept
PyObject*, and otherwise keep their interface.
