Hello. So I propose to have a sys.implementation which would have string representation like "CPython" or "Jython" and have a couple of extra attributes on that. I can think about a lot of attributes, however, couple comes to mind as obvious. * supports_c_api - whether it can load and use CPython C modules * gc_strategy - probably equals "refcounting" or not, useful for some people * frame_introspection - This is mostly True for everybody except IronPython which has it as an optional command line argument. Might be useful to have it for some projects, unsure. What do you think? I'm willing to implement this for CPython and PyPy (this should be dead-simple anyway).
