http://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/os-release.html is a recent standard describing release information for an operating system. platform.linux_distribution() should know about it. - should that be the first file to be parsed? - names returned for the ID are different than the ones returned from /etc/lsb-release. The os-release thing only allows lower case letters for the ID (e.g. Ubuntu vs. ubuntu). The list of _supported_distros may need to list both. - take the version from VERSION_ID - there is no real attribute for the code name. The closest maybe is VERSION.

is a recent standard describing release information for an operating system. platform.linux_distribution() should know about it.

 - should that be the first file to be parsed?

 - names returned for the ID are different than the ones
   returned from /etc/lsb-release. The os-release thing
   only allows lower case letters for the ID (e.g. Ubuntu
   vs. ubuntu).  The list of _supported_distros may
   need to list both.

 - take the version from VERSION_ID

 - there is no real attribute for the code name. The closest
   maybe is VERSION.
