As we prepare to merge the io-c branch, the question has come up [1] about the original Python implementation. Should it just be deleted in favor C version? The wish to maintain the two implementations together has been raised on the basis that Python is easier to experiment on and read (for other vm implementors).

Probably not a surprise, but +1 from me for keeping the pure Python version around for the benefit of other VMs as well as a reference implementation.
