     Based on your code, that'd be:

info_kernel = '.'.join(platform.release().split('.',2))

     The [:2] is unnecessary, as you're limiting the number of splits  
to 2, so the resulting list from split() can't have more than 3  
elements.

     Also, note that this code will likely cause the program to crash  
on any system that isn't Linux. On my box (OS X 10.4.1), for example,  
sys.platform returns 'darwin'.
