[Python-Dev] Hey! who changed sys.platform?!

[Greg Ward]

Curses!

I just noticed that sys.platform in 1.6a2 (and the latest CVS from this
morning) returns "linux2" on my PC, not "linux-i386".  As I recall this
decision is made in the configure script.  Does anyone know why it
changed?  This is not the end of the world, but the OS name alone is not
really enough on a multi-architecture OS...

...back to calling os.uname() myself, I guess.  ;-(
