There are many Pythons in the world. You can't just hack on CPython and expect everything to follow on from there. Someone has to explain to the Jython folks what they'll have to do to be compatible. Someone has to write something up so MicroPython can run the same code that CPython does.

I thought that was the point of having pure python modules. If this can't be "figure it out, or use the pure python reference implementation already provided" then what's the point?
