Antoine Pitrou <pit...@free.fr> added the comment: FWIW, the output is a bit different here before the patch: $ ./python -c "import platform; print(platform.linux_distribution())" ('Mandriva Linux', '2010.1', 'Official')
and after the patch: $ ./python -c "import platform; print(platform.linux_distribution())" ('MandrivaLinux', '2010.1', 'Henry_Farman') but I would say it's because Mandriva has inconsistent contents in their respective /etc/mandriva_release and /etc/lsb-release files. The patch itself is a bit imperfect and will need reworking (_u_distname, _u_version and _u_id should be initialized to '' rather than catching UnboundLocalError; remove ubuntu-specific comments). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9514> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
