Anyone willing to sponsor this? ... * The C implementation should be in Modules/mathmodule.c * Tests should be in Lib/test/testmath.py * Documentation should be in Doc/library/math.rst * Add an entry to Doc/whatsnew/3.5.rst * If I remember correctly, we don't need the Python implementation and its tests I'll happily review the patch once it's on the bug tracker as Berker described.

I filed http://bugs.python.org/issue24270 to track this, but there's a fair bit of work to be done to integrate the changes into the existing math module's code, tests and documentation.

And correct, there's no need for a pure Python implementation - Guido rejected the idea of a pure Python fallback for the math module a while back (http://bugs.python.org/issue23595)
