It seems to me that you contradict yourself here.
Pure python is pure python without any c, c++, pyrex, sip, etc.
OTOH, if you still need compiled extension for some reason
(usualy only two excuses are good enough- speed and low-level
interface to something as hardware or 3rd party libraries)
why throw out good working code? It's not a good practice.

So if you don't *have to* use compiled extension you can ask how to achieve
desired results in pure python.
