Really for cases like Jython's zlib.py (no useful code for CPython) I
don't have any trouble keeping them entirely in Jython. It just would
have been fun to delete our Lib/ :)
It would be nice in this particular case if there was a zlib.py that
imported \_zlib -- then it would be easy to shim in Jython's version,
whether it is written in a .py file or in Java.
That should be fine as that is what we already do for accelerator modules anyway. If you want to work towards having an equivalent of CPython's Modules/ directory so you can ditch your custom Lib/ modules by treating your specific code as accelerators I think we can move towards that solution.
