Sorry, no idea.

The rotor modul is built into the python library (at least in my
ActivePython 2.1.1 distribution)
If it is not builtin, it is still a C extension module (rotor.pyd for
Windows, probably rotor.so or rotormodule.so on *nix)

You find the C sourcecode in the file Modules/rotormodule.c (if you have
source code installed, of course).
