I thought you might. > It sounds like clutter of the sys module to > me. Fair enough - but no more than getwindowsversion IMO (and it seems it would be used in similar situations to getwindowsversion, in terms of wanting to know fundamental characteristics of the OS.) But I don't personally care - although I added this to pywin32 some time ago, I decided to wait for someone else to request it before submitting it for inclusion in the core. > Isn't there some environment variable you can look at? > Some registry key? Not that I'm aware of. I've uploaded my patch as http://bugs.python.org/issue2745, and I've taken the liberty of adding you to the nosy list, incase you wish to reject it outright (but I'm likely to assume silence for a few weeks on a tracker issue means no serious objections - at least none so serious they can't be rectified by reverting the change) Cheers, Mark _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
