[issue1322] Deprecate platform.dist() and platform.linux_distribution() functions
Nir Cohen added the comment: I have a premliminary implementation of it: https://github.com/nir0s/ld Would love some help. It tries to use adhere to the standards (os-release first, lsb-release later, then, distro-specific release files). It also returns more types of values then there were before. -- nosy: +nir0s ___ Python tracker <http://bugs.python.org/issue1322> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Nir Cohen added the comment: I didn't mean to say that it was. Still, it's important to have some implementation of identifying linux distributions and their properties.. -- ___ Python tracker <http://bugs.python.org/issue1322> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Nir Cohen added the comment: Apologies. This can be simply installed by running `pip install ld` (from https://pypi.python.org/pypi/ld). Some notes: * I've just now started writing tests * Haven't tested on versions other than 2.7.x and 2.6.x * There's some stray code there. This works.. but it's obviously WIP. * I'm all into getting as many pull requests to make this as robust as possible as fast as possible. -- ___ Python tracker <http://bugs.python.org/issue1322> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
