This seems a bit hacky, and I'm not sure how reliable it is. I added this after the read_object call:
 if (is_file) {
 PyObject * newpos;
 int cp, np;
 cp = ftell(rf.fp);
 newpos = PyObject_CallMethod(f, "seek", "ii", cp, SEEK_SET);
 assert(newpos != NULL);
 np = PyLong_AsLong(newpos);
 Py_DECREF(newpos);
 assert(cp == np);
 }
When I run the code lots of times, I sometimes get assertion failures at the
assert(newpos != NULL)
line. It's not an EOF condition thing, necessarily: I do get expected behaviour at least sometimes when seeking to the end of file.
