[New-bugs-announce] [issue20081] sys.getwindowsversion does nto show some fields

[Giampaolo Rodola']

New submission from Giampaolo Rodola':

On Windows 7:

>>> v = sys.getwindowsversion()
>>> v
sys.getwindowsversion(major=6, minor=1, build=7600, platform=2, service_pack='')
>>> v.service_pack_major
0
>>> v.service_pack_minor
0
>>> v.suite_mask
254

Doc states:

> For compatibility with prior versions, only the first 5 elements are retrievable by indexing.

...so I guess that's why service_pack_minor, service_pack_major and suite_mask fields are not shown.
Nevertheless I think this is a inconvenience which should be fixed, at least in the next major Python version.
