The CPython implementation seems to have the same modules written both in C (e.g., datetime in .c) and also in .py for the same module (e.g., datetime in .py).
My question is which version is used when I use datetime in my .py file when using the CPython interpreter? And why are there two module versions in the first place?
C code is real code, python is interface code.
The c code is the performant code, while the python is for python runtime to correctly handle call sites.
Also use the c code Version to get the most performance.
