I am trying to imagine the requirements document for your project.

 - Must be error prone and hard to debug
 - Must take an order of magnitude longer to write
 - Must be unportable to other systems

Really, why don't you write your etension in C?  Do you really think
you will improve your code by writing it in assembler?  Even embedding
assembler in C code make it unportable and I find it hard to imagine
anything that you want to do in a Python context that can't be done at
least as well in C if not pure Python.

Just curious is all.
