My other question with a lot of people asking this is 'can your problem be solved by a separate python 3 script set and IPC between them'
One idea to support users who want to leverage Python 3.X for advanced charting or just for using specific C based libraries is to enhance the WebDev module to interface directly with a Python 3.X runtime—essentially acting like an API.
