Does anyone know of a clean implementation of timsort?

The Python sources contain a description and code for the original timsort, but it is understandably full of python-specific calls.

I have a smoothly varying 2D array of double floats that I would like to sort as quickly as possible. It ought to contain a lot of monotonically increasing and decreasing runs. I'd like to try timsorting the rows individually, and then merging the sorted rows. If you know of a better sort technique, I'm open to suggestions.

Thanks!
