I think the possible use of Cython for standard library extension modules is potentially worth looking into for the 3.4 timeframe (c.f. the recent multiple checkins sorting out the refcounts for the new ImportError helper function). There are obviously a lot of factors to consider before actually proceeding with such an approach (even for the extension modules), but a side-by-side comparison of pickle.py, the existing C accelerated pickle module and a Cython accelerated pickle module (including benchmark numbers) would be a valuable data point in any such discussion. However, it would definitely have to be pitched to any interested students as a proof-of-concept exercise, with a real possibility that the outcome will end up supporting MvL's reply.
