Adding sys attributes in maintenance (or security) releases makes me nervous. However, Victor and Christian are right about the need for a special case to avoid leaking information, so my particular suggested check won't work. The most robust check would be to run sys.executable in a subprocess and check if it gives the same hash for a non-empty string as the current process.
