IMO, we really, really need some common way of accessing C libraries that

We have one. It's called writing an extension module.
I think Dan means some way of doing this without having
to hand-craft a different one for each Python implementation.
If we're really serious about the idea that "Python is not
CPython", this seems like a reasonable thing to want. Currently
the Python universe is very much centred around CPython, with
the other implementations perpetually in catch-up mode.
My suggestion on how to address this would be something akin
to Pyrex or Cython. I gather that there has been some work
recently on adding different back-ends to Cython to generate
code for different Python implementations.
