That's because API/ABI versioning is technically up to the individual implementations. The PEP only mandates particular behaviour for CPython and the implementation independent tags. If if you want a definitive answer on that, ask the PyPy devs to write one up. I would have preferred to mandate behaviour based on sys.implementation, but that still wouldn't have covered 2.x.
