Not sure if it was Shaun's intent, but to be totally fair, I would say there is *little* need to develop another one, rather than *no* need :)
Some parts of the MQuaternion class (e.g. slerp) are not accessible to Python, and some other functions (e.g. slime) are not present. In such cases, though, you can quite easily add your own functions to the MQuaternion class and use its existing functionality for everything else.
