http://www.cosc.canterbury.ac.nz/~greg/python/Pyrex/ Python subset that
compiles down to C, and can use C datatypes. Language is designed
specifically for making C python extensions, written in a Python subset.

Wonder if this might be a good thing to keep in mind for core or add-on
bits that opt to remain in C for performance reasons. That might provide
a foundation for future porting efforts to Jython or a presumptive
Python.NET.

Perhaps a third TTW script type?; python, perl and pyrex? Could also be
good for incremental migration of C-based code in various network
servers to Python.
