Remember that one reason for importing the C version at the bottom of the python version is so that alternate implementations (PyPy, IronPython, Jython) could provide partial versions of the C (or equivalent) versions. By importing after the Python version, the alternate implementation could continue to use parts of the Python code.
I think the impact on alternate implementations needs to be considered before we start rearchitecting these imports. |
