Fedora EPEL Update Notification
FEDORA-EPEL-2017-0deb4082c6
2017-01-19 20:51:38.045456
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : python-distro
Product : Fedora EPEL 6
Version : 1.0.1
Release : 2.el6
URL :
https://github.com/nir0s/distro
Summary : Linux Distribution - a Linux OS platform information API
Description :
The distro (for: Linux Distribution) package provides information about the
Linux distribution it runs on, such as a reliable machine-readable ID, or
version information.
It is a renewed alternative implementation for Python's original
platform.linux_distribution function, but it also provides much more
functionality. An alternative implementation became necessary because
Python 3.5 deprecated this function, and Python 3.7 is expected to remove it
altogether. Its predecessor function platform.dist was already deprecated since
Python 2.6 and is also expected to be removed in Python 3.7. Still, there are
many cases in which access to that information is needed. See Python issue 1322
for more information.
