[issue43284] sys.getwindowsversion().platform_version is incorrect

[Steve Dower]

Steve Dower <steve.dower at python.org> added the comment:

Python is a volunteer built project, so someone will need to volunteer 
to write the fix. Until there is a volunteer, there is no plan. (One of 
the core devs might volunteer, but there's no guarantee of that.)

If we're going to launch cmd.exe, I'd prefer to only do that in the 
platform module and not the sys function. Nothing in sys should start a 
subprocess (if we can at all avoid it).
