Maybe I'm not understanding the requirement right, but is this  
possible (assuming determined enough users) with a python app?

E.g. you can always run the interpreter with environment variables to  
pick up your own versions of modules which enable extensions.  
Alternatively, you can hack your own interpreter to run whatever code  
you want.
