I filed http://bugs.python.org/issue24270 to track this, but there's a
fair bit of work to be done to integrate the changes into the existing
math module's code, tests and documentation.

And correct, there's no need for a pure Python implementation - Guido
rejected the idea of a pure Python fallback for the math module a
while back (http://bugs.python.org/issue23595)

Nick.
