Antoine Pitrou <pit...@free.fr> added the comment:

When adding some C accelerations, we often try to keep a pure Python 
alternative in the stdlib, since it can then benefit other Python 
implementations (and easy prototyping).

If you move some of the methods inside a mixin and use multiple inheritance 
with the base C impl, this should be easy.
Also, the unit tests should then test both the C impl and the pure Python impl.
