My question too! I would say that stable releases should probably not get this change, but should force sys.platform to linux2 on 3.x kernels. BTW, does anybody think sys.platform should use a more dynamic approach for calculating its value? Well, maybe not necessary if Python 3.3 will just say 'linux'. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12326> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
