On a somewhat related note, the Cython project is pushing towards reimplementing parts of CPython's stdlib C modules in Cython. That would make it easier for other projects to use the implementation in one way or another, rather than having to reimplement and maintain it separately by following C code. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.devel/122273/focus=122716 The advantage for other-than-CPython-Pythons obviously depends on the module. If it's just implemented in C for performance reasons (e.g. itertools etc.), it would likely end up as a Python module with additional static typing, which would make it easy to adapt. If it's using lots of stuff from libc and C I/O, or even from external libraries, the code itself would obviously be less useful, although it would likely still be easier to port changes/fixes.
