    I need to test whether the string is interned for Python implementations of marshal.dumps(). It is easy to do in C, and I suggest to expose this functionality to Python.

    Currently you can test if the string is interned using the following function:

        def isinterned(s):
        return sys.intern(s) is s

    But it has a side effect -- it interns a string if it is not equal to an already interned string.

    I'd prefer to have this as an internal API, either sys._isinterned() or as a helper method in testcapi.

    I agree with Christian; this is an implementation detail so it should be flagged as private/internal somehow.

    Agreed it should be non-public, but can we please call it sys._is_interned()?

    Thank you all for the feedback. The function is renamed to sys._is_interned() and documented as optional.
