Are there any plans for implementing `fractions` module in C (like for `decimal` there is a https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/main/Modules/_decimal/_decimal.c module)? I've implemented one myself (https://github.com/lycantropos/cfractions) and from benchmarks (available at https://stackoverflow.com/a/67821911/5997596) we can see that it can be faster that current pure Python implementation. |

No, no plans. There are tradeoffs here - the extra speed comes at the expense of increased maintenance burden. (It's certainly much harder to make minor changes and fixes to the decimal module now that it's written in C.) |

Closing here. I think we'd need a PEP and a wider discussion to take this forward. |
