I agree. I find it much easier to read a plain and obvious try: from _cmodule import * except ImportError: from _pymodule import * in a facade module than # lots and lots # of unused # Python code # here ... # ... and then this, well hidden at the end, telling # me that I just waded through the entirely wrong code: try: from _cmodule import * except ImportError: pass As I said, that's different for the case where the C module replaces only a somewhat small part of the Python code, but for the case of an (almost) complete replacement, I would like to see the 3-files approach as the One Way To Do It.
