The point of a PEP is getting something into standard python. The command line flag is also part of this. Piggybacking a lightweight client/server data-gathering version of this on top of the PEP could be beneficial in that respect. Unless I am mistaken, the Pep 445 hooks must be setup before calling Py_Initialize() and so using them is not trivial. Anyway, just a suggestion, for the record.
