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).
Thoughts? http://bugs.python.org/issue4565
How about making it an optional module instead, a compile flag when compiling python would determine whether the python or C or both versions of the libraries would be included with C-only as the default. Alternatively, if the compile flag was turned off and you want access to the python version, provide a downloadable pure python library (OS package manager could have something like python-lib-purepy or something similar). This would streamline python, and only people who want to mess around would download the purepy version.
