STINNER Victor added the comment: "Python's stdlib contains other modules that contain code for older versions of Python. The platform module even contains lines like "os.devnull was added in Python 2.4, so emulate it for earlier"."
I never understood why the platform module should be backport compatible. Marc Andre Lemburg wrote that it is shipped externally. I don't understand the purpose of having a third party platform module since the module is part of the stdlib. ---------- nosy: +haypo, lemburg _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue19763> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
