cheers!

I have seen this, but as I mentioned at the beginning of this article, this was based on a recipe from ActiveState. I actually had done something else when we didn’t need all this information, but I haven’t been able to find that code yet. As I recall, my colleague found this recipe and we modified it as needed and didn’t look any further.

Thanks for the information though.

There’s:

sys.getwindowsversion()

Returns: (major, minor, build, platform, and text)

e.g. (5, 1, 2600, 2, ‘Service Pack 3′)

—

platform.win32_ver()

Returns: (release, version, csd, ptype)

e.g. (‘XP’, ’5.1.2600′, ‘SP3′, ‘Multiprocessor Free’)

—

platform.uname()

Returns: (system, node, release, version, machine, processor)

e.g. (‘Windows’, ‘computer_1′, ‘XP’, ’5.1.2600′, ‘x86′, ‘x86 Family 16 Model 5 Stepping 2, AuthenticAMD’)
