I think there is general consensus that this should go in a module other than sys. (At least a submodule.)

The specific names are still To Be Determined, but I suspect seeing the functions and objects as part of a named module will affect what works. Given the refocusing of the PEP on the context variable API, with the other aspects introduced solely in service of making context variables work as defined, my current suggestion would be to make it a hybrid Python/C API using the "contextvars" + "contextvars" naming convention. Then all most end user applications defining context variables would need is the single line: from contextvars import newcontextvar

I like it!

+1 from me.
