In this case I disagree. The math module mostly wraps the C math library and the bar should remain high for things to be added to it. Let this be someone's opportunity to learn C (I guess not Chris's :-).

Maybe it's time to rename the math module to _math and create a math.py module, like _decimal/decimal? math.py should end with "from _math import *".

What do folks think? If we're going to do this, I'll write isclose() in python. And I could do the work to split it out, too, I suppose.
My vote -- as always -- is to do it in Python. If someone is sufficiently motivated to re-implement in C then that's great, but I don't think it should be required to be in C.
