Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: Python Library Group: Platform-specific Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Benjamin Leppard (bleppard) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) 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() ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1726668&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
