Thanks again to everyone who offered feedback, questions, and
suggestions on the draft PEP. I've made substantial revisions and
additions to the PEP based on discussion here. A couple changes to call
out specifically that I haven't already mentioned:

* I've attempted to add more clarity and detail to the discussion of
``sys.prefix`` vs ``sys.site_prefix``, based on Jim's questions.

* After discussion with Vinay, we're sticking with ``sys.site_prefix``
naming for now in the PEP and reference implementation. I've added an
"open questions" section summarizing the discussion here, the concerns
Nick raised about that name, and both the ``sys.venv_prefix`` and
``sys.local_prefix`` alternative suggestions. We'll see what additional
feedback there is from python-dev on that question.

Sending the draft on to the PEP editors and python-dev now, as outlined
in PEP 1.

Thanks!

Carl
