Not that I have time to do this, but I realy _need_ plpython in my current
project. So if nobody else will do it I'll have to make/find time... I also
don't have much experience with integrating Python and C, so I would have to
learn that.

I think it would be better if someone with more experience and time would do
this, but if nobody else is available I'll do it.
