This is the point. Those libraries are specific to Python and cannot be 
ported.

And very often they don't just provide general support that can be 
found, in different forms, in any target language, but is also specific.

Then if you are still porting your application, rather than rewriting or 
heavily adapting, you will need to emulate what they do.

And I recommend you doing some actual porting from Python or any other 
big language.
