New submission from Matthew Scott <m...@11craft.com>: Using Python 3.2.2 and Python 3.3.0a2 (installed via 64-bit installers in official DMGs on python.org), 'distutils.util.get_platform()' returns an incorrect OS version when running on Mac OSX 10.7.
Using Python 2.6.7, and Python 2.7.1 (the versions included with Mac OSX), the output indicates 'macosx-10.7' correctly. > for version in 2.6 2.7 3.2 3.3; do python${version} -c "from __future__ > import print_function;import > distutils.util,sys;print(sys.version.split()[0],distutils.util.get_platform())"; > done 2.6.7 macosx-10.7-intel 2.7.1 macosx-10.7-intel 3.2.2 macosx-10.6-intel 3.3.0a2 macosx-10.6-intel Some packages make use of this in their setup.py to determine the proper location of libraries. For example, the 'readline' distribution's setup.py does so here: https://github.com/ludwigschwardt/python-readline/blob/6f0e801fa1632fcbb0e005eb9709aaa6051a0f28/setup.py#L33 It fails due to the incorrect assumption that it's running on 10.6 instead of 10.7.
