Impact on other Python implementations
--------------------------------------
The majority of this PEP's changes occur in the standard library, which is
shared by other Python implementations and should not present any
problem.
Other Python implementations will need to replicate the new
``sys.prefix``-finding behavior of the interpreter bootstrap, including
locating and parsing the ``pyvenv.cfg`` file, if it is present.

Other Python implementations?
-----------------------------
We should get feedback from Jython, IronPython, and PyPy about whether
there's anything in this PEP that they foresee as a difficulty for
their implementation.
