Then what is the difference between sysconfig.get_platform and sys.platform? When should we use one or the other? Maybe changing sys.platform to 'win' instead of 'win32', like was done with 'linux' in Python 3.3 (changed from 'linux2' and 'linux3') would be a step in standardization and simplification. Another one is sys.platform and sysconfig.platform return 'win32' and os.name returns 'nt'. Can't it be changed (in Python 4) to 'win', maybe with a deprecation warning starting in 3.8? ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue35896> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
