I'm trying to say that your approach is in the right direction, but it's possible for it to work on Jython and CPython at the same time and that's always the best route.  If we have code that can be used by CPython too, eventually we can push modifications back in their direction and not have to maintain a separate copy.  That's always better because it allows us to pick up modifications that they make without manual merging on our part on every version update.  Because you ripped out part of the CPython implementation, it no longer works for CPython and our version becomes a fork instead of a patch to be applied to CPython at a later date.
