[issue16651] Find out what stdlib modules lack a pure Python implementation

[Brett Cannon]

Brett Cannon added the comment:

One thing I should say about this list of modules is please don't go nuts porting every single module blindly. There is always a possibility that another VM has already ported the code and has simply not contributed it back and so there is no need to write it from scratch and more just political wrangling to get contributions pushed upstream from other VMs. There might also be reasons to not worry about porting something. Always start a conversation first before starting a port; last thing I want is someone putting in the time to port some code that no one will necessarily use for a while.
