I'm not sure if you noticed, but I was actually saying
python library -> xtla

That portion of the library doesn't use tla.

I'd certainly consider relying on a libarch implemented in Lisp, w

There's some truth to that, but PyArch and Pylon (my PyArch extras 
library) stand ready to use libtla whenever it's available, and their 
clients should be oblivious to the difference.
