I'm not a (C)Python implementor, so I can't definitively answer that. The fact that this functionality was added at all does, however, seem to strongly imply that that is the case. FWIW, I've scanned over the `sys` module, which would be the obvious place to put such a feature or its rudiments, and can't find anything else of use for the task.
