If important information is in the interpreter-specific location, it would be nice to know where that is. That could be a specific module name, but a module-name-pattern might be enough.
sys.interpreter=cpython (or pypy_js_43, or whatever is chosen) <==> cpython_vm (or pypy_js_43_vm) is the module for internals
Then why not: sys.interpreter_module = cpython <=> cpython ?sys.interpreter_module = pypy_vm <=> pypy_vm ?sys.interpreter_module = org.baked.beans.jython <=> ?org.?baked.beans.jython :)
ie. those targets which choose to use a "_vm" suffix make it explicit rather than imposing that naming upon everyone ?
We already have a way to identify the Python implementation and it works for CPython, IronPython and Jython:
import platform platform.python_implementation() 'CPython'
