Cross Platform¶
platform.architecture(executable=sys.executable, bits=', linkage=')¶Queries the given executable (defaults to the Python interpreter binary) forvarious architecture information.
Returns a tuple (bits,linkage) which contain information about the bitarchitecture and the linkage format used for the executable. Both values arereturned as strings.
Interfectorem (itch) mac os. Values that cannot be determined are returned as given by the parameter presets.If bits is given as ', the sizeof(pointer) (orsizeof(long) on Python version < 1.5.2) is used as indicator for thesupported pointer size.
The function relies on the system's file command to do the actual work.This is available on most if not all Unix platforms and some non-Unix platformsand then only if the executable points to the Python interpreter. Reasonabledefaults are used when the above needs are not met.
Note
On Mac OS X (and perhaps other platforms), executable files may beuniversal files containing multiple architectures.
To get at the '64-bitness' of the current interpreter, it is morereliable to query the sys.maxsize attribute:
platform.machine()¶Returns the machine type, e.g. 'i386'. An empty string is returned if thevalue cannot be determined.
platform.node()¶Returns the computer's network name (may not be fully qualified!). An emptystring is returned if the value cannot be determined.
platform.platform(aliased=0, terse=0)¶Returns a single string identifying the underlying platform with as much usefulinformation as possible.
The output is intended to be human readable rather than machine parseable. Itmay look different on different platforms and this is intended.
If aliased is true, the function will use aliases for various platforms thatreport system names which differ from their common names, for example SunOS willbe reported as Solaris. The system_alias() function is used to implementthis.
Setting terse to true causes the function to return only the absolute minimuminformation needed to identify the platform.
Changed in version 3.8: On macOS, the function now uses mac_ver(), if it returns anon-empty release string, to get the macOS version rather than the darwinversion.
platform.processor()¶
Returns the (real) processor name, e.g. 'amdk6'.
An empty string is returned if the value cannot be determined. Note that manyplatforms do not provide this information or simply return the same value as formachine(). NetBSD does this.
platform.python_build()¶Returns a tuple (buildno,builddate) stating the Python build number anddate as strings.
platform.python_compiler()¶Returns a string identifying the compiler used for compiling Python.
platform.python_branch()¶
Returns the (real) processor name, e.g. 'amdk6'.
An empty string is returned if the value cannot be determined. Note that manyplatforms do not provide this information or simply return the same value as formachine(). NetBSD does this.
platform.python_build()¶Returns a tuple (buildno,builddate) stating the Python build number anddate as strings.
platform.python_compiler()¶Returns a string identifying the compiler used for compiling Python.
platform.python_branch()¶Returns a string identifying the Python implementation SCM branch.
platform.python_implementation()¶Returns a string identifying the Python implementation. Possible return valuesare: ‘CPython', ‘IronPython', ‘Jython', ‘PyPy'.
platform.python_revision()¶Returns a string identifying the Python implementation SCM revision.
platform.python_version()¶Returns the Python version as string 'major.minor.patchlevel'.
Note that unlike the Python sys.version, the returned value will alwaysinclude the patchlevel (it defaults to 0).
platform.python_version_tuple()¶Returns the Python version as tuple (major,minor,patchlevel) of strings.
Note that unlike the Python sys.version, the returned value will alwaysinclude the patchlevel (it defaults to '0').
platform.release()¶Returns the system's release, e.g. '2.2.0' or 'NT' An empty string isreturned if the value cannot be determined.
platform.system()¶Returns the system/OS name, such as 'Linux', 'Darwin', 'Java','Windows'. An empty string is returned if the value cannot be determined.
platform.system_alias(system, release, version)¶Returns (system,release,version) aliased to common marketing names usedfor some systems. It also does some reordering of the information in some caseswhere it would otherwise cause confusion.
platform.version()¶Returns the system's release version, e.g. '#3ondegas'. An empty string isreturned if the value cannot be determined. Volvox mac os.
platform.uname()¶Fairly portable uname interface. Returns a namedtuple()containing six attributes: system, node, release,version, machine, and processor.
Platformer (dennisparamonov) Mac Os Download
Note that this adds a sixth attribute (processor) not presentin the os.uname() result. Also, the attribute names are differentfor the first two attributes; os.uname() names themsysname and nodename.
Platformer (dennisparamonov) Mac Os X
Entries which cannot be determined are set to '.
Changed in version 3.3: Result changed from a tuple to a namedtuple.
Java Platform¶
platform.java_ver(release=', vendor=', vminfo=(', ', '), osinfo=(', ', '))¶Version interface for Jython.
Returns a tuple (release,vendor,vminfo,osinfo) with vminfo being atuple (vm_name,vm_release,vm_vendor) and osinfo being a tuple(os_name,os_version,os_arch). Values which cannot be determined are set tothe defaults given as parameters (which all default to ').
Windows Platform¶
platform.win32_ver(release=', version=', csd=', ptype=')¶Get additional version information from the Windows Registry and return a tuple(release,version,csd,ptype) referring to OS release, version number,CSD level (service pack) and OS type (multi/single processor).
As a hint: ptype is 'UniprocessorFree' on single processor NT machinesand 'MultiprocessorFree' on multi processor machines. The ‘Free' refersto the OS version being free of debugging code. It could also state ‘Checked'which means the OS version uses debugging code, i.e. code that checks arguments,ranges, etc.
platform.win32_edition()¶Returns a string representing the current Windows edition. Possiblevalues include but are not limited to 'Enterprise', 'IoTUAP','ServerStandard', and 'nanoserver'.
platform.win32_is_iot()¶Return True if the Windows edition returned by win32_edition()is recognized as an IoT edition.
New in version 3.8.
Mac OS Platform¶
platform.mac_ver(release=', versioninfo=(', ', '), machine=')¶Get Mac OS version information and return it as tuple (release,versioninfo,machine) with versioninfo being a tuple (version,dev_stage,non_release_version).
Entries which cannot be determined are set to '. All tuple entries arestrings.
Unix Platforms¶
platform.libc_ver(executable=sys.executable, lib=', version=', chunksize=16384)¶Tries to determine the libc version against which the file executable (defaultsto the Python interpreter) is linked. Returns a tuple of strings (lib,version) which default to the given parameters in case the lookup fails.
Note that this function has intimate knowledge of how different libc versionsadd symbols to the executable is probably only usable for executables compiledusing gcc.
The file is read and scanned in chunks of chunksize bytes.
