Personally, I would really like to see more Python extensions written using the ctypes foreign function library. This has two advantages:
* Supported on more than just CPython. I.e. you can use them on PyPy as well.
* The extensions are far easier to install, since one doesn't need both a full C compiler as well as all development headers for the library installed on the server where you install the extension.
