I can't speak, as I've never used those. But can't those directories be renamed to Lib/plat-<platform.system()>? As for the performance overhead, since the platform module caches the result of uname or other function/subprocess calls, I don't think it's a showstopper. Furthermore, I somehow doubt those functions are performance bottlenecks anyway. Since Linux 3 is in RC now, is there a chance to reach a consensus in the near future? ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12326> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
