Hi,

We try very hard to optimize for usual python idioms. They're very often much better than specific cpython hacks. Unless you mean things like rebiding a global into default a "pythonic idiom". We had to rewrite places in standard library which are precisely not very pythonic.

If I understand correctly, you’ve made internal changes preserving the official API of the modules. Have you reported those cases to bugs.python.org? I’m sure we’d be glad to incorporate those changes into the stdlib, possibly even in the stable branches if their rationale is strong enough.

Regards
