The implementation for sys.implementation is going to use a new (but "private") type[1]. It's basically equivalent to the following: Does this really need to be written in C rather than Python?
Yes, because we want to use it in the sys module. As you get lower down in the interpreter stack, implementing things in Python actually starts getting painful because of bootstrapping issues (e.g. that's why both _structseq and collections.namedtuple exist).
Personally, I suggest we just expose the new type as types.SimpleNamespace (implemented in Lib/types.py as "SimpleNamespace = type(sys.implementation)" and call it done.
Cheers, Nick.
