     The real problems are with integration of modules that
aren't written in Python.  Python-only modules don't have the
version compatibility problems which C modules do.  Loading
a Python-only module from an external source is usually not
a big deal.  Building a C module, especially one with
dependencies on other components, can be a big deal.
So, focus on problems with modules which have C
components.
