Are you talking about python-code libraries, or python bindings to C
libraries? Many of Python's C library bindings are (ISTR) produced by SWIG.
AFAIK SWIG can be convinced to output Allegro and UFFI CL FFI bindings,
improving that support might be more worthwhile, as a way to rapidly
inflate the CL "supported C libraries" count.
Or, you could write a python _implementation_ in CL, I guess - worked
for Java :-)
