In the wrapper, why don't we just convert the apr_off_t objects into
regular Python numbers? We might need to add a bit of logic to handle
cross-platform compatibility, but I think it'd be worth it for the
ease of use.

Here's a cross-platform function for converting apr_off_t into an integer.

if hasattr(apr_off_t, "value"):
  def value_of_apr_off_t(x):
    return x.value
elif sizeof(apr_off_t) == sizeof(c_int64):
  def value_of_apr_off_t(x):
    return cast(pointer(x), POINTER(c_int64))[0]
else:
  raise Exception("Can't figure out how to convert apr_off_t to an integer")

I believe that apr_off_t is either a "long" or an "off64_t" on all
platforms and versions of APR, so the above logic should be portable.
We can then call this function from within your
_progress_func_wrapper.

Cheers,

David
