I don't think rewriting party of site.py in C is a good idea. It's a rather maintenance intense module.

However, optimizing access is certainly something that's possible, e.g. by placing the few variables that are actually needed by site.py into a bootstrap module for sysconfig, which only contains the few variables needed by interpreter startup.

Alternatively, sysconfig data could be made available via a C lookup function; with the complete dictionary only being created on demand. get_config_var() already is such a lookup API which could be used as front-end.
