>>> PEP 399 also comes into play - we need a pure Python version for PyPy >>> et al (or a plausible story for why an exception should be granted).
No, we don't. We can grant an exception, which I'm very willing to do. The PEP lists wrapping a specific C-based library as a plausible reason. > It's acceptable for the Python version to use ctypes Hmm. To me, *that's* unacceptable. In the specific case, having a pure-Python implementation would be acceptable to me, but I'm skeptical that anybody is willing to produce one.
