Thanks for the cultural education of 2.5.1 isn't supposed to work, I
didn't know that.
Also I'm glad to hear this is fixed for 2.5.2 already.
Sorry I'm too new & ignorant to understand why you believe this is
fixed. I don't see that we already have a way to say things like:
if not platform.system('Linux'):
Do we have a way to say things like that?
My first Googles, tried here now at Mac OS X, give me useless
suggestions like:
>>> platform.platform(aliased=True)
'Darwin-9.0.0b5-i386-32bit'
>>> platform.system_alias(platform.system(), platform.release(),
platform.version())
('Darwin', '9.0.0b5', 'Darwin Kernel Version 9.0.0b5: Fri Aug 17
17:24:24 PDT 2007; root:xnu-1182~1/RELEASE_I386')
>>>
Practically speaking, I was getting by ok with:
if platform.system() != 'Windows':
Until that broke in Vista plus 2.5.1.
