I had to partially revert this patch (reverting most of it) because it
unfortunately breaks the implicit handle creation :-(

I'm not actually sure how to do this correctly in Python.  I made
several attempts, but I don't think Python is very good about having a
variable which is only defined on some paths -- maybe it's not
possible at all.
