My proposal is just organizational, it is neutral in terms of whether or not the
Python version is correctly maintained.

We can hope that the IO lib *semantics* won't change too much in the future
(although there is an IMO legitimate request for a setblocking() method:
http://bugs.python.org/issue949667). On the other hand, I don't expect anyone to
willingly use the Python version if the C version is available.
