Distro - an OS platform information API

|
|
`distro` provides information about the
|
||
|
|
OS distribution it runs on, such as a reliable machine-readable ID, or
|
||
|
|
version information.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It is the recommended replacement for Python's original
|
||
|
|
[`platform.linux_distribution`](https://docs.python.org/3.7/library/platform.html#platform.linux_distribution)
|
||
|
|
function (removed in Python 3.8). It also provides much more functionality
|
||
|
|
which isn't necessarily Python bound, like a command-line interface.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Distro currently supports Linux and BSD based systems but [Windows and OS X support](https://github.com/python-distro/distro/issues/177) is also planned.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For Python 2.6 support, see https://github.com/python-distro/distro/tree/python2.6-support
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Installation
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Installation of the latest released version from PyPI:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```shell
|
||
|
|
pip install distro
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Installation of the latest development version:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```shell
|
||
|
|
pip install https://github.com/python-distro/distro/archive/master.tar.gz
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To use as a standalone script, download `distro.py` directly:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```shell
|
||
|
|
curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/python-distro/distro/master/src/distro/distro.py
|
||
|
|
python distro.py
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
``distro`` is safe to vendor within projects that do not wish to add
|
||
|
|
dependencies.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```shell
|
||
|
|
cd myproject
|
||
|
|
curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/python-distro/distro/master/src/distro/distro.py
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Usage
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
$ distro
|
||
|
|
Name: Antergos Linux
|
||
|
|
Version: 2015.10 (ISO-Rolling)
|
||
|
|
Codename: ISO-Rolling
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
$ distro -j
|
||
|
|
{
|
||
|
|
"codename": "ISO-Rolling",
|
||
|
|
"id": "antergos",
|
||
|
|
"like": "arch",
|
||
|
|
"version": "16.9",
|
||
|
|
"version_parts": {
|
||
|
|
"build_number": "",
|
||
|
|
"major": "16",
|
||
|
|
"minor": "9"
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
$ python
|
||
|
|
>>> import distro
|
||
|
|
>>> distro.name(pretty=True)
|
||
|
|
'CentOS Linux 8'
|
||
|
|
>>> distro.id()
|
||
|
|
'centos'
|
||
|
|
>>> distro.version(best=True)
|
||
|
|
'8.4.2105'
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Documentation
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
On top of the aforementioned API, several more functions are available. For a complete description of the
|
||
|
|
API, see the [latest API documentation](http://distro.readthedocs.org/en/latest/).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Background
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
An alternative implementation became necessary because Python 3.5 deprecated
|
||
|
|
this function, and Python 3.8 removed it altogether. Its predecessor function
|
||
|
|
[`platform.dist`](https://docs.python.org/3.7/library/platform.html#platform.dist)
|
||
|
|
was already deprecated since Python 2.6 and removed in Python 3.8. Still, there
|
||
|
|
are many cases in which access to that information is needed. See [Python issue
|
||
|
|
1322](https://bugs.python.org/issue1322) for more information.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The `distro` package implements a robust and inclusive way of retrieving the
|
||
|
|
information about a distribution based on new standards and old methods,
|
||
|
|
namely from these data sources (from high to low precedence):
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* The os-release file `/etc/os-release` if present, with a fall-back on `/usr/lib/os-release` if needed.
|
||
|
|
* The output of the `lsb_release` command, if available.
|
||
|
|
* The distro release file (`/etc/*(-|_)(release|version)`), if present.
|
||
|
|
* The `uname` command for BSD based distrubtions.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Python and Distribution Support
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`distro` is supported and tested on Python 3.6+ and PyPy and on any
|
||
|
|
distribution that provides one or more of the data sources covered.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This package is tested with test data that mimics the exact behavior of the data sources of [a number of Linux distributions](https://github.com/python-distro/distro/tree/master/tests/resources/distros).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Testing
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```shell
|
||
|
|
git clone git@github.com:python-distro/distro.git
|
||
|
|
cd distro
|
||
|
|
pip install tox
|
||
|
|
tox
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Contributions
|
||

Pull requests are always welcome to deal with specific distributions or just
|
||
|
|
for general merriment.
