Ok, fair enough, I abandon my change.

I agree that a partial implementation of math.py (only a few functions) is not useful. To implement more math functions, struct and ctypes modules are probably needed. But it sounds overkill, since CPython already has a full implementation of math written in C.

It's quite easy to implement the math module for other Python implementations (Jython, IronPython, PyPy, etc.). So I agree that math.py is useless. We all want a super fast (optimized) math module ;-)
