In theory there is the platform.linux_distribution() in python:
https://docs.python.org/3.7/library/platform.html#module-platform
But on my OpenSUSE 15.1 that failed to provide anything. Beneath that it
seems to be deprecated since Python 3.5.
A newer package that want to provide this functionality is "distro":
https://distro.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
Beneath that module, there is "/etc/os-release". It's a standard file
for systemd. So most likely most distros have it now:
https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/os-release.html
