[Python-Dev] sys.implementation (original) (raw)

At this point I'm pretty comfortable with where PEP 421 is at. Before asking for pronouncement, I'd like to know if anyone has any outstanding concerns that should be addressed first.

The only (relatively) substantial point of debate has been the type for sys.implementation. The PEP now limits the specification of the type to the minimum (Big-Endian vs. Little...er...attribute-access vs mapping). If anyone objects to the decision there to go with attribute-access, please make your case.

From my point of the view either one would be fine for what we need and attribute-access is more representative of the fixed namespace. Unless there is a really good reason to use a mapping, I'd like to stick with that.

Thanks!
