Before I start reinventing a squared wheel, I have the following
question:
Is there already a (standard) module that wraps around the various
os/sys information which checks if the platform + version is supported
for what I want to do with it.
In case you were not aware of it: see the platform module. But you'll
have
to do the checks yourself (based on the info it returns).
Thanks for the reminder, it indeed slipped my mind.
As Python features are luckily mostly platform independent, I am not
sure if a convenient 'platform requirement check' module would be worth
the energy creating it, any thoughts on that?
For clarity purpose I re'added (and adapted) in what lines I was thinking:
-
test = RequirePlatform(do_not_raise=True)
# If do_not_raise is not set or False, an error will be raised
# after a failed require line, otherwise just continue.
test.require(key='test1', platform='freebsd', version_min='2.2')
# If the platform is anything else but FreeBSD 2.2 onwards return False
# and store the result of the test.
# Result of the require (and any additional tests
# can be accessed using the index operators;
if test['test1']:
print('supported')
-
Other requirements like architecture, python vm type/version, cpu
features, etc. Might also be nice to have.
It might be useful for up-front checking in those platform-specific
scripts, although the platform module might already be fulfilling that
need.
