While I don't like some design quirks of Cython, I think that it's far
better than any ffi or ctypes-like solution.  Essentially, it's an ffi
merged with the language, not a separate module.  And that's a pretty
unique approach.  Why not focus on improving Cython design and moving 
toward some superset of Python language, that every implementation 
should support natively?
