The JapaneseCodecs package comes with both Python and C versions of
the codecs. It includes more encodings, in particular the cp932 codec,
which is used on Windows (cp932 used to be understood as a synonym for
shift-jis, but that understanding is incorrect, so these are
considered as two different encodings these days).

I believe they produce different output, but haven't tested.

Hisao complains that Tamito's codecs don't include the full source for
the generated files, but I believe (without testing) that you just
need a few files from the Unicode consortium to generate all source
code.

As long as Python doesn't provide cp932, people will still install the
JapaneseCodecs.
