[issue40973] platform.platform() in Python 3.8 does not report detailed Linux platform information

[SilentGhost]

SilentGhost <ghost.adh at runbox.com> added the comment:

This is the result of removal of platform.linux_distribution() in #28167. Which was deprecated since 3.5. As far as I understand, suggested replacement is distro package on pypi (https://pypi.org/project/distro/).
