New submission from Eric Snow <ericsnowcurren...@gmail.com>:
PEP 421 added sys.implementation for Python implementors to provide values required by stdlib code (e.g. importlib). That PEP indicates that any new required attributes must go through the PEP process. [1] That requirement isn't obvious. To fix that we should add a brief note to the sys.implementation docs [2] identifying the requirement.
