I raised the issue on python-dev again, let's see what happens. In case they accept this then at least for the python 3 version the python fork could be removed after a few changes on my side (for python 2 it would have to stay, but python 2 is legacy stuff anyways, and updates to both my and the python code will happen rarely (if ever)). Here's the thread: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2012-December/123320.html
