This patch moves id() and intern() into the sys module, as listed in PEP-3100.

[gvanrossum]

Aargh. I need to think more about whether I even want this. Doesn't PEP-3100 have a ? near that item? Everything with a ? needs to be reconsidered before implemented. Add a ? if it's not already there for this issue. Sorry.

[birkenfeld]

Updated patch only moves intern(), as per python-3000 discussion.
File Added: sys-intern.diff

[gvanrossum]

Looks good, check it in (and update PEP-3100 please).

Were there no other places where intern() is actually *used* in the stdlib? Amazing!

Can I convince you to also contribute a fixer for the sandbox/2to3 refactoring tool?

[birkenfeld]

Committed in rev. 53080. Updated the PEP in rev. 53082.
Submitted new patch for the 2to3 refactoring tool in bpo-1619049.
