3""" This module tries to retrieve as much platform-identifying data as
4    possible. It makes this information available via function APIs.
5
6    If called from the command line, it prints the platform
7    information concatenated as single string to stdout. The output
8    format is useable as part of a filename.

11#    This module is maintained by Marc-Andre Lemburg <mal@egenix.com>.
12#    If you find problems, please submit bug reports/patches via the
13#    Python bug tracker (http://bugs.python.org) and assign them to "lemburg".
14#
15#    Note: Please keep this module compatible to Python 1.5.2.
16#
17#    Still needed:
18#    * more support for WinCE
19#    * support for MS-DOS (PythonDX ?)
20#    * support for Amiga and other still unsupported platforms running Python
21#    * support for additional Linux distributions

34#    History:
35#
36#    <see CVS and SVN checkin messages for history>
37#
38#    1.0.8 - changed Windows support to read version from kernel32.dll
39#    1.0.7 - added DEV_NULL
40#    1.0.6 - added linux_distribution()
41#    1.0.5 - fixed Java support to allow running the module on Jython
42#    1.0.4 - added IronPython support
43#    1.0.3 - added normalization of Windows system name
44#    1.0.2 - added more Windows support
45#    1.0.1 - reformatted to make doc.py happy
46#    1.0.0 - reformatted a bit and checked into Python CVS
47#    0.8.0 - added sys.version parser and various new access
48#            APIs (python_version(), python_compiler(), etc.)
49#    0.7.2 - fixed architecture() to use sizeof(pointer) where available
50#    0.7.1 - added support for Caldera OpenLinux
51#    0.7.0 - some fixes for WinCE; untabified the source file
52#    0.6.2 - support for OpenVMS - requires version 1.5.2-V006 or higher and
53#            vms_lib.getsyi() configured
54#    0.6.1 - added code to prevent 'uname -p' on platforms which are
55#            known not to support it
56#    0.6.0 - fixed win32_ver() to hopefully work on Win95,98,NT and Win2k;
57#            did some cleanup of the interfaces - some APIs have changed
58#    0.5.5 - fixed another type in the MacOS code... should have
59#            used more coffee today ;-)
60#    0.5.4 - fixed a few typos in the MacOS code
61#    0.5.3 - added experimental MacOS support; added better popen()
62#            workarounds in _syscmd_ver() -- still not 100% elegant
63#            though
64#    0.5.2 - fixed uname() to return '' instead of 'unknown' in all
65#            return values (the system uname command tends to return
66#            'unknown' instead of just leaving the field empty)
67#    0.5.1 - included code for slackware dist; added exception handlers
68#            to cover up situations where platforms don't have os.popen
69#            (e.g. Mac) or fail on socket.gethostname(); fixed libc
70#            detection RE
71#    0.5.0 - changed the API names referring to system commands to *syscmd*;
72#            added java_ver(); made syscmd_ver() a private
73#            API (was system_ver() in previous versions) -- use uname()
74#            instead; extended the win32_ver() to also return processor
75#            type information
76#    0.4.0 - added win32_ver() and modified the platform() output for WinXX
77#    0.3.4 - fixed a bug in _follow_symlinks()
78#    0.3.3 - fixed popen() and "file" command invokation bugs
79#    0.3.2 - added architecture() API and support for it in platform()
80#    0.3.1 - fixed syscmd_ver() RE to support Windows NT
81#    0.3.0 - added system alias support
82#    0.2.3 - removed 'wince' again... oh well.
83#    0.2.2 - added 'wince' to syscmd_ver() supported platforms
84#    0.2.1 - added cache logic and changed the platform string format
85#    0.2.0 - changed the API to use functions instead of module globals
86#            since some action take too long to be run on module import
87#    0.1.0 - first release
