[issue2912] let platform.uname try harder

[James Thomas]

James Thomas <jjt009 at yahoo.com> added the comment:

much handling code already seems to exist under the line
except AttributeError:
in platform.py (function uname(), lines 1101-1161 platform.py)
i'm not too familiar with the Python codebase (i just began developing
with Python a few days back)
