Cython-generated C code would likely be more stable (and produce compiler errors if it gets stale), whereas importlib.h needs to be regenerated with byte code changes. Having source code has the advantage that it becomes possible to single-step through the import process in C debugger. Single-stepping with pdb would, of course, be better than that, but I doubt it's feasible. In addition, there might be a performance gain with Cython over ceval.
