[issue1082] platform system may be Windows or Microsoft since Vista

Pat LaVarre added the comment: Thanks for the cultural education of 2.5.1 isn't supposed to work, I didn't know that. Also I'm glad to hear this is fixed for 2.5.2 already. Sorry I'm too new & ignorant to understand why you believe this is fixed. I don't see that we already have a way to say

Marc-Andre Lemburg added the comment: Pat, we already have system_alias() for exactly the purpose you suggested. Software relying on platform.system() reporting "Vista" will have to use Python 2.5.2 as minimum Python version system requirement - pretty much the same as with all other bug fixes.

Pat LaVarre added the comment: --- USAGE: I agree we should let people in future write: if not platform.system('Windows'): rather than: if not (platform.system() in ('Microsoft', 'Windows')): now that our people can no longer rely on Python in Vista correctly understanding the plain human i

Pat LaVarre added the comment: Works for me. I tried python-trunk-vistaplatform-v2.patch in one sample of 2006-11 RTM Vista plus 2.5.1 Python plus this patch. I quote: >>> import platform >>> platform.uname() ('Windows', '[redacted]', 'Vista', '6.0.6000', '', '') >>> platform.system() 'Windows

[issue1082] platform system may be Windows or Microsoft since Vista

Marc-Andre Lemburg added the comment: A couple of notes: * platform.uname() needs to be fixed, not the individual query functions. * The third entry of uname() should return "Vista" instead of "Microsoft" on MS Vista. * A patch should go on trunk and into 2.5.2, since this is a real bug and no

Bill Janssen added the comment: Wow. I think that platform.system() should return "Windows" for both XP and Vista, and platform.release() should return either "Vista" or "XP". Seems like a patch to make this happen would be a good idea. -- nosy: +janssen
