Separate modules, same repository.

No, not at all.

That would be hard to do.  I'm using some Python specific
technologies, like the ElementTree parser to handle XML.
I also have rather polymorphic code ("duck typing" at its best)
that would be hard to port easily into C.

I've found there's a much lower uptake of a given module
if it requires a C extension.

It's also not covered by the grant.
