Metadata-Version: 2.1 Name: distro Version: 1.5.0 Summary: Distro - an OS platform information API Home-page: https://github.com/nir0s/distro Author: Nir Cohen Author-email: nir36g@gmail.com License: Apache License, Version 2.0 Description: Distro - an OS platform information API ======================================= [](https://travis-ci.org/nir0s/distro) [](https://ci.appveyor.com/project/nir0s/distro/branch/master) [](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/distro) [](https://img.shields.io/pypi/pyversions/distro.svg) [](https://requires.io/github/nir0s/distro/requirements/?branch=master) [](https://codecov.io/github/nir0s/distro?branch=master) [](https://landscape.io/github/nir0s/distro) [](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/distro) [](http://distro.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) [](https://gitter.im/nir0s/distro?utm_source=badge&utm_medium=badge&utm_campaign=pr-badge&utm_content=badge) `distro` provides information about the OS distribution it runs on, such as a reliable machine-readable ID, or version information. It is the recommended replacement for Python's original [`platform.linux_distribution`](https://docs.python.org/3.7/library/platform.html#platform.linux_distribution) function (which will be removed in Python 3.8). It also provides much more functionality which isn't necessarily Python bound, like a command-line interface. Distro currently supports Linux and BSD based systems but [Windows and OS X support](https://github.com/nir0s/distro/issues/177) is also planned. For Python 2.6 support, see https://github.com/nir0s/distro/tree/python2.6-support ## Installation Installation of the latest released version from PyPI: ```shell pip install distro ``` Installation of the latest development version: ```shell pip install https://github.com/nir0s/distro/archive/master.tar.gz ``` ## Usage ```bash $ distro Name: Antergos Linux Version: 2015.10 (ISO-Rolling) Codename: ISO-Rolling $ distro -j { "codename": "ISO-Rolling", "id": "antergos", "like": "arch", "version": "16.9", "version_parts": { "build_number": "", "major": "16", "minor": "9" } } $ python >>> import distro >>> distro.linux_distribution(full_distribution_name=False) ('centos', '7.1.1503', 'Core') ``` ## Documentation On top of the aforementioned API, several more functions are available. For a complete description of the API, see the [latest API documentation](http://distro.readthedocs.org/en/latest/). ## Background An alternative implementation became necessary because Python 3.5 deprecated this function, and Python 3.8 will remove it altogether. Its predecessor function `platform.dist` was already deprecated since Python 2.6 and will also be removed in Python 3.8. Still, there are many cases in which access to that information is needed. See [Python issue 1322](https://bugs.python.org/issue1322) for more information. The `distro` package implements a robust and inclusive way of retrieving the information about a distribution based on new standards and old methods, namely from these data sources (from high to low precedence): * The os-release file `/etc/os-release`, if present. * The output of the `lsb_release` command, if available. * The distro release file (`/etc/*(-|_)(release|version)`), if present. * The `uname` command for BSD based distrubtions. ## Python and Distribution Support `distro` is supported and tested on Python 2.7, 3.4+ and PyPy and on any distribution that provides one or more of the data sources covered. This package is tested with test data that mimics the exact behavior of the data sources of [a number of Linux distributions](https://github.com/nir0s/distro/tree/master/tests/resources/distros). ## Testing ```shell git clone git@github.com:nir0s/distro.git cd distro pip install tox tox ``` ## Contributions Pull requests are always welcome to deal with specific distributions or just for general merriment.
