Also I'm glad to hear this is fixed for 2.5.2 already. Sorry I'm too new & ignorant to understand why you believe this is fixed. I don't see that we already have a way to say things like: if not platform.system('Linux'): Do we have a way to say things like that? My first Googles, tried here now at Mac OS X, give me useless suggestions like: >>> platform.platform(aliased=True) 'Darwin-9.0.0b5-i386-32bit' >>> platform.system_alias(platform.system(), platform.release(), platform.version()) ('Darwin', '9.0.0b5', 'Darwin Kernel Version 9.0.0b5: Fri Aug 17 17:24:24 PDT 2007; root:xnu-1182~1/RELEASE_I386') >>> Practically speaking, I was getting by ok with: if platform.system() != 'Windows': Until that broke in Vista plus 2.5.1. __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1082> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
