New submission from STINNER Victor <vstin...@redhat.com>: The platform.linux_distribution() function has been removed from the future Python 3.8. The removal should be documented in Python 2.7 documentation, and mention the alternative.
Python 2 documenation: https://docs.python.org/2/library/platform.html#platform.linux_distribution Python 3 documentation with the deprecation warning: https://docs.python.org/3/library/platform.html#platform.linux_distribution IMHO it's too late to deprecate the function from Python 2. We should only add a quick note. Function removed in: bpo-28167. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 317275 nosy: docs@python, vstinner priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: [EASY DOC] Python 2: document that platform.linux_distribution() has been removed versions: Python 2.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue33600> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
