everyone has their own opinion on what the developers should be
doing. it is fortunate that they mostly ignore this ;)

do you mean people write c extensions for use from withing
python instead of writing just c code and not using python
at all?

yes, writing pure python would be much better ;)

seriously, i do not see a trend of people writing their c programs in
the form of python extensions because of syntax. but someone wants to
have nice syntax for c and easy python interfacing, pyrex might be for
them.
