Our reference implementation is C. However, it should be trivial to
implement this in pure Python, too. For a description of the algorithm
see the NOTES section of the sd_listen_fds() function call. Gustavo's
mail contains all the necessary hints how to reimplement that in proper
Python code.

So far none I was aware of.
