If we go ahead with the all C approach, I'd be in favour of refactoring a little and putting the new scandir code into a separate C file. There are two ways to do this: a) sticking with a single Python module and just referencing the non-static functions in scandir.c from posixmodule.c, or b) sharing some functions but making _scandir.c its own importable module. Option (a) is somewhat simpler as there's not module setup stuff twice, but I don't know if there's a precedent for that way of doing things.
The _io module already does things that way (the (a) option, I mean). Regards Antoine.
