Thanks a lot Steven! The following code worked like a charm!
****************** agent = os.environ['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] # determination of user browser agent = agent.lower() if 'chrome' in agent: agent = 'Chrome' if 'firefox' in agent: agent = 'Firefox' if 'opera' in agent: agent = 'Opera' if 'safari' in agent: agent = 'Safari' if 'msie' in agent: agent = 'IE' *************** I just want to have an idea of what browser a guest is using when hitting my webpage. http://www.superhost.gr/?show=log now includes also that filed in the logging process. But if i wanted the OS also? sys.platform is for retrieving the host OS type that the script is running and not the guest OS type. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
