No, some people in the Python community like to have everything "pure Python" for installation simplicity. This would allow them to install and use pyzmq without a C++ compiler. Some deployment settings don't allow compiled code - for example Google App Engine. You can upload a pure python module to GAE, but you can't compile code or upload compiiled code. > As for the sync API. Yes, it would be nice to have it.
