Either revert the decision, or apply the patch. I don't feel comfortable advocating that the decision be reverted - according to the CVS log, PEP 309 was accepted by Guido on 31 March 2004, so I don't think it's for me to argue against that decision... (I've already stated my position - I don't have any problem with the function as it stands, and speed is not crucial to me so I have no preference between the C and Python implementations. But it's not the end of the world whatever happens...).
