[Python-Dev] Provide a Python wrapper for any new C extension

[Hamish Lawson]

One of the arguments put forward against renaming the existing time module 
to _time (as part of incorporating a pure-Python strptime function) is that 
it could break some builds. Therefore I'd suggest that it could be a useful 
principle for any C extension added in the future to the standard library 
to have an accompanying pure-Python wrapper that would be the one that 
client code would usually import.
