If you take this route, please don't write it directly against the CPython 
C-API (as you would for a CPython stdlib module). It is much easier to get 
something working, correct, testable and feature-rich with Cython. Once you 
have that, put it on PyPI to give it more testing. If you then decide to come 
back and provide a patch to get it integrated into CPython's zlib module, it's 
relatively easy to manually translate the Cython code to equivalent C-API code. 
But by that time, your code will be known to work, will have a test suite, and 
we can run real benchmarks on it before investing the time into spelling it out 
in C.
