The proposal of adding sys.implementation has come up a couple times
over the last few years. [1][2]  While the reaction has been
overwhelmingly positive, nothing has come of it.  I've created a
tracker issue and a patch:

    http://bugs.python.org/issue14673

The patch adds a struct sequence that holds ("name" => "CPython",
"version" => sys.version_info).  If later needs dictate more fields,
we can cross that bridge then.

Are there any objections?  Considering the positive reaction and the
scope of the addition, does this need a PEP?
