For future reference this is what is used:
def get_distro(id=None, codename=None, description=None, release=None):
"""
Check the currently used distribution and return the corresponding
distriubtion class that supports distro specific features.
If no paramter are given the distro will be auto detected via
a call to lsb-release
"""
# make testing easier
if not (id and codename and description and release):
result = _lsb_release()
id = result['Distributor ID']
codename = result['Codename']
description = result['Description']
release = result['Release']
if id == "Ubuntu":
return UbuntuDistribution(id, codename, description, release)
elif id == "Debian":
return DebianDistribution(id, codename, description, release)
else:
return Distribution(id, codename, description, release)
