</div>Cython OTOH probably needs Python 2.x, which isn't that great for<br>
building Python 3. And requiring Cython for developing is not very<br>
contributor-friendly.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Well, required to regenerate _frozen_importlib, but nothing else. I mean making fixes go into importlib directly and get tested that way, not through __import__(). So really Cython would only be needed when importlib._bootstrap has been changed and you are making a commit.</div>
