I think this is the only way when integrating a project outside python

The usual solution is to not integrate then, at all. Python doesn't
really ship with any libraries that also have an active life outside
of Python.


Not entirely true - we have the ones listed in PEP 360. However, I think 
of those only Optik (aka optparse) is currently seeing active external 
updates.


Of course, we also have a big warning at the top of the PEP saying 
*Never Ever Do This Again*.


Cheers,
Nick.

Hence my classification doesn't really, which I meant to be vague.

I think that's what Guido once said.
