Ok. And sorry, I missed your part about heapq now having a c implementation. This is indeed good, I was misled by the presence of heapq.py.
Duplicate Python/C code will probably become more common. Even if the Python is not used for prototyping (which I believe it was for heapq), it serves to document the intention of the C code and to be a ready to go version for non-C implementations. And it can be used as a basis for modification by Pythoneers who want slightly different behavior.
