Summary: platform.processor() could be smarter

Initial Comment:
    As far as I can see, platform.py only looks at 
the output of "uname -p" 
when platform.processor() is called.  But on my 
system (Debian Linux), this 
doesn't give a result. 
 
    Could you please enhance this function in a 
way that it also looks at 
/proc/cpuinfo?  I'd need this to automatically find 
the appropriate options 
like "-march=..." and "-msse" for gcc/g++ in an 
scons script. 
 
Thanks, 
 
    - Stephan.

This sounds like it would be an endless sink of new code to
deal with various processors and /proc formats on different
platforms. If uname -p doesn't give you a result on Debian,
that sounds like a Debian bug that should be taken up with them.

I presume you want something like this:

$ cat /proc/cpuinfo 
processor       : 0
vendor_id       : GenuineIntel
cpu family      : 15
model           : 2
model name      : Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.66GHz
stepping        : 7
cpu MHz         : 2660.595
cache size      : 512 KB
fdiv_bug        : no
hlt_bug         : no
f00f_bug        : no
coma_bug        : no
fpu             : yes
fpu_exception   : yes
cpuid level     : 2
wp              : yes
flags           : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic
mtrr pge mca cmov pat 
pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe cid xtpr
bogomips        : 5275.64

to be transformed into the str "pentium4"?

I think this RFE should be closed.
