Lemburg (lemburg) Summary: platform.system() returns incorrect value in Vista Initial Comment: On Microsoft Vista platform.system() returns 'Microsoft' and platform.release() returns 'Windows' Under Microsoft Windows XP SP2 platform.system() returns 'Windows' and platform.release() returns 'XP'. This is problem was caused by a change in the output of the "ver" command. In Windows XP SP2 "ver" outputted 'Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]' In Microsoft Vista "ver" outputted 'Microsoft Windows [Version 6.0.6000]'. The lack of the 3rd word before version causes _syscmd_ver(...) in platform.py to return 'Microsoft' for system instead of 'Microsoft Windows'. This causes uname() to return the incorrect values. Both system() and release() call uname(). This problem occurs in the trunk. I have attached a patch against the trunk svn that fixes the symptom of the problem in uname() ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Martin v.
