In your Python directory, everything in Lib is Python, I believe.
Everything in DLLs is compiled C extensions. I see about 15 for Windows
3.0. These reflect two separate directories in the source tree. Builtin
classes are part of pythonxx.dll in the main directory. I have no idea
if things such as lists (from listobject.c), for instance, are a
potential problem for you.
You could start with the module of most interest to you, or perhaps a
small one, and see if it needs patching (from your viewpoint) and how
much effort it would take to meet your needs.
