platinfo Description

A small Python based tool for getting information on the current platform platinfo is a small and free Python tool that determines and returns standardized names for platforms, where the "standard" is Trent Mick's reasoning from experience building ActivePython on a fairly large number of platforms.Currently platinfo has fairly wide OS coverage (Mac OS X, Windows, Linux, Solaris, HP-UX, AIX).platinfo's driving goal is to provide platform names that are:· relatively short· readable (as much as possible making matching the given name to an actually machine self-explanatory)· be capable enough to produce all names needed to distinguish all platform-specific application builds· generally safe for usage in filenames· not ugly (e.g. "MSWin32" is ugly) Requirements: · Python
