Spell it as "sys.implementation.debugbuild" and I'm in favour.

Oh, in fact, I don't have no preference between sys.debug_flag and sys.implementation.debug_flag. If I understood correctly, Serhiy would prefer sys.implementation.debug_flag because he doesn't want to add yet another symbol to the sys namespace.

But Berker Peksag wrote:

"According to the sys.implementation documentation and PEP 421, we can only add a private attribute without writing a PEP. But I find sys.implementation._debug_build too long and from sys import implementation; implementation._debug_build(or from sys import implementation as i; i._debug_build) is also not easy to write. So I'm +1 to sys.debug_build."

Should I write a PEP for a new field in sys.implementation?
