I'm not biased in any direction here. Again, I'd love to see the two sets be merged into one, e.g. take the Python ones from Hisao and use the C ones from Tamito if they are installed instead.

Here again, I entreat to add Tamito's C version as standard Japanese codec. It's fast, is proven quite stable and correct.

If people need to customize mapping table(this may happen in some cases, but not common task. I believe almost 100% of Japanese programmers never had wrote such a special mapping table), and if they think Tamito's codec is too difficult to customize(while I don't think so), and only if they are satisfied with performance of codec written in Python, they will download and install the Python version of codec.
