If I wanted to submit this as a pep (or even just submit this for a potential sponsorship), is the best way to go about it to work directly in a clone of the c/python repo, or to write a standalone library first and then after preliminary approval, add it to c/python?

You don’t need an implementation to write a PEP, and certainly not to get a sponsor. 

That being said, a prototype can be helpful to work out the issues. 

You could go either way, but if it can be stand-alone, that’s easier, especially for others to try it out.
