> Are you aware of the existing Python OSC implementations:

Yep. Well actually, SimpleOSC is not a Python implementation.
pyliblo is the python "translation layer" that interfaces to
SimpleOSC. (But pyliblo itself is not a python extension
library). So what you've cited is just one Python implementation.

I also came across something that is actual Python code to
pack/unpack OSC messages. (And then presumably you'd use
some additional code to transmit messages).

These are not the same things I'm proposing. I'd be doing a
Python extension library.

I don't know who "we" is, but for myself, I'm definitely up for
choices that do things in a truly different way. First of all, EasyOSC,
while originally very loosely based upon SimpleOSC, is actually a
very different API with different real-time performance and notably
different methodology to using its API. If it were just mostly the
same thing with a couple tweaks (like the majority of Linux distros),
then it would be a waste of time. Furthermore, what I'd be doing is
a Python extension library. I've yet to come across one of those for
OSC. So it would not be "another one". It would be the "first one".
