[issue13959] Re-implement parts of imp in pure Python

[Eric Snow]

Eric Snow <ericsnowcurrently at gmail.com> added the comment:

Here are the things I'm aware of:

* implement imp.get_tag() using sys.implementation
* *maybe* implement imp.get_magic() in pure Python (patch already attached here)
* (low priority) find a way to rip out the bulk of PyImport_ExecCodeModuleObject() from imp.c, if practical

>From my discussions with Brett, there was a laundry list he was aiming to get in for 3.3 (for import stuff in general).  I know much of it got done, but not all of it.  Of the remainder, I'm not sure how much of that he still wants to see get in.  Some of it pertains to this issue, though not all.
