Brett Cannon <br...@python.org> added the comment:

The stated long-term goal of the stdlib is to minimize the C extension modules 
to only those that have to be written in C (modules can still have performance 
enhancing extension back-ends). Since datetime does not meet that requirement 
it's not a matter of "if" but "when" datetime will get a pure Python version 
and use the extension code only for performance.

If someone wants to implement the C code for a tzinfo concrete class that we 
are talking about, that's fine. But that will not prevent datetime from getting 
a pure Python version at some point.
