There may be other CPython-specific fields currently in sys.version that it makes sense to also include in sys.implementation, but: 1. That's *as well as*, not *instead of* 2. It's something that can be looked at *after* the initial implementation of the PEP has been checked in (and should only be done with a concrete use case, such as eliminating sys.version introspection in other parts of the stdlib or in third party code)
Precisely. The PEP addresses this point directly: http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0421/#adding-new-required-attributes -eric
