[issue9455] platform test borked in 2.7 branch on Power PC

[Bill Janssen]

Bill Janssen <bill.janssen at gmail.com> added the comment:

So the problem is in the _mac_ver_xml() routine in Lib/platform.py, which says:


    machine = os.uname()[4]
    if machine == 'ppc':
        # for compatibility with the gestalt based code
        machine = 'PowerPC'

and perhaps should say:

    machine = os.uname()[4]
    if machine in ('ppc', 'Power Macintosh'):
        # for compatibility with the gestalt based code
        machine = 'PowerPC'
