But how can I do this in native way? I just want to implement simplest feature I
proposed in PR #172 which seems will take forever to accept.

How can I call this function? I could try to use ctypes to load library but
I didn't find native way to get full path to geanypy library.

Currently I close file by path but it doesn't work for symlinks:
