You could at least use the Python module behind lsb_release directly.

I would use platform.dist() if it wasn't full of lies:

jdreed@jdreed-desktop:~$ lsb_release -sc
hardy
jdreed@jdreed-desktop:~$ echo -e "import platform\nprint platform.dist()[1]" | python
lenny/sid
jdreed@jdreed-desktop:~$

  • Status changed from new to committed

If you don't like the shell stuff, propose something better.

There's a literal lsb_release module; sorry if that was unclear.

$ lsb_release -sc
wheezy
$ python -c 'import lsb_release; print lsb_release.get_distro_information().get("CODENAME")'
wheezy

This approach works at least as far back as lucid; I don't have ready access to anything older. That said, I can't argue too much with working code; it's just a matter of style.

  • Status changed from committed to development

1.29 in dev

comment:7 Changed 12 years ago by jdreed

  • Fixed in version set to debathena-printing-config 1.29

lsb_release is not a thing until you get to Jaunty. (/usr/bin/lsb_release in Hardy is hilarious).

So we don't get to do this until April 2013. (Seriously, can we _please_ stop supporting Hardy?)
