What features do you find particularly unfortunate? Just because
something isn't particularly amenable to implementation in C, doesn't
make it a bad API for a Python library (e.g. the dicts to enable/signal
the different error traps are a natural interface for Python code, even
though C code would be inclined to use a bit field for the same thing).
Cheers,
Nick.
