I've written up a PEP for the sys.implementation idea. Feedback is welcome!
Cool, it's better with PEP! Even the change looks trivial.
name the name of the implementation (case sensitive).
It would help if the PEP (and the documentation of sys.implementation) lists at least the most common names. I suppose that we would have something like: "CPython", "PyPy", "Jython", "IronPython".
version the version of the implementation, as opposed to the version of the language it implements. This would use a standard format, similar to ``sys.version_info`` (see `Version Format`_).
Dummy question: what is sys.version/sys.version_info? The version of the implementation or the version of the Python lnaguage? The PEP should explain that, and maybe also the documentation of sys.implementation.version (something like "use sys.version_info to get the version of the Python language").

Why not adding this information to the imp module? Victor
