Category: Python Library Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Nikos Kouremenos (nkour) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: expanding platform module and making it work as it should Initial Comment: platform.release() (which is supposed to return the Name of Windows) also does not work as it should in some versions of windows I tried (xp pro sp1). Luckily to print more than Windows (eg. print Windows XP or Windows 2000 etc) you can have a look at this http://www.brunningonline.net/simon/blog/archives/001168.html of Simon Brunning also only debian, mdk and redhat is scanned for GNU/Linux ?? why even bother then? I think that PSL is good but this module is has hell of limitations. At least dont' make anyone write this: import os distro_info = { 'Arch Linux': '/etc/arch-release', 'Aurox Linux': '/etc/aurox-release', 'Conectiva Linux': '/etc/conectiva-release', 'Debian GNU/Linux': '/etc/debian_release', 'Debian GNU/Linux': '/etc/debian_version', 'Fedora Linux': '/etc/fedora-release', 'Gentoo Linux': '/etc/gentoo-release', 'Mandrake Linux': '/etc/mandrake-release', 'Slackware Linux': '/etc/slackware-release', 'Slackware Linux': '/etc/slackware-version', 'Solaris/Sparc': '/etc/release', 'Sun JDS': '/etc/sun-release', 'Novell SUSE Linux': '/etc/SuSE-release', 'PLD Linux': '/etc/pld-release', 'SUSE Linux': '/etc/SuSE-release', 'Yellow Dog Linux': '/etc/yellowdog-release', # many distros use the /etc/redhat-release for compatibility # so Redhat is the last 'Redhat Linux': '/etc/redhat-release'} def get_os_info(): if os.name =='nt': win_version = { (1, 4, 0): "95", (1, 4, 10): "98", (1, 4, 90): "ME", (2, 4, 0): "NT", (2, 5, 0): "2000", (2, 5, 1): "XP" }[os.sys.getwindowsversion()[3], os.sys.getwindowsversion()[0], os.sys.getwindowsversion()[1]] return 'Windows' + ' ' + win_version elif os.name =='posix': executable = 'lsb_release' params = ' --id --codename --release --short' for path in os.environ['PATH'].split(':'): full_path_to_executable = os.path.join(path, executable) if os.path.exists(full_path_to_executable): command = executable + params child_stdin, child_stdout = os.popen2(command) output = child_stdout.readline().strip() child_stdout.close() child_stdin.close() return output # lsb_release executable not available, so parse files for distro in distro_info: path_to_file = distro_info[distro] if os.path.exists(path_to_file): file = open(path_to_file) text = file.read().strip() file.close() if path_to_file.endswith('version'): text = distro + ' ' + text return text print get_os_info() Thank you ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Nikos Kouremenos (nkour) Date: 2005-04-11 15:38 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=865368 ok nevermind the platform.release() part for windows name. it seems to work now.. :$ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Nikos Kouremenos (nkour) Date: 2005-04-10 19:46 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=865368 identation went to take a walk :( I'm sorry look here: http://nkour.blogspot.com/2005/03/python-script-to-detect-gnulinux.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1180267&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
