Many sys attributes (argv, displayhook, excepthook, modules, path, 
path_hooks, path_importer_cache, ps1, ps2, stderr, stdin, stdout, 
tracebacklimit) are used implicit in builtins and in interpreter core. 
Even import system doesn't work without the sys module. So it should be 
initialized very early and finalized very late.
