-Wwrite-strings: More fix-old-Python-API wrappers
When building against Python 2.7, -Wwrite-strings flags several cases
of passing a string literal to Python functions that expect a "char
*". This commit addresses the issue like we already handle several
other similar cases -- wrap the Python API with our own fixed
version that adds the necessary constification.
