New submission from Ian Cordasco:

Stemming from a StackOverflow question[1] and a conversation with Marc-Andre 
Lemburg via email, I'm filing this issue without any easy way of confirming it 
myself.

It seems that the logic in platform.python_implementation() has been obsoleted 
by a change made in IronPython. As it is now, it checks that the slice, 
sys.version[:10], is "IronPython". Seemingly due to a change in IronPython, 
this no longer is a correct condition for checking that the implementation is 
IronPython.

I'm trying to work with the question author on StackOverflow to provide the 
relevant debugging information to fix this, but it is taking a while to get 
responses. Without his repr(sys.version) I can't submit a patch with this issue.

I've also only tagged Python 2.7 since I have no way of knowing if this occurs 
with Python 3.x or anything earlier.
