That's right.  There's several modules, like I believe the sets module 
and datetime, that don't have Python versions (or those versions are not 
fully up to date with the C versions).  Porting these to Python is a 
request I've frequently heard from people involved in Jython, PyPy, and 
IronPython, when they are asked what someone can do to help the project.

I put it on the list, but I just did so because I know this is something 
other people have asked for.
