Subsets of Python implemented in Python

[candide]

I don't understand why some parts of the Python language (or the Python 
standard library too) are implemented in C while some other parts are 
implemented in the Python language itself. For instance, lists and 
dictionnaries are implemented in C but sets are not.

Wouldn't be better to implement all in C (for efficiency reasons for 
example) ?
