How to use the platform module to obtain system information in Python, pythonplatform

Operating System Problems

• System (): operating system type (see example)
• Version (): operating system version
• Release (): release Number of the operating system, for example, win 7 returns 7, and NT, 2.2.0, and so on.
• Platform (aliased = 0, terse = 0): Operating system Information string, platform and system () + win32_ver () [: 3]
• Win32_ver (release = '', version ='', csd = '', ptype =''): win system information
• Linux_distribution (distname = '', version ='', id = '', supported_dists = ('suse', 'debiaare', 'yellowdog ', 'gentoo', 'unitedlinux ', 'turbolinux '), full_distribution_name = 1): Linux system information
• Dist (distname = '', version ='', id = '', supported_dists = ('suse', 'debian ', 'ora ora', 'redhat ', 'centos ', 'mandrake', 'mandriva ', 'rocks', 'slackware', 'yellowdog ', 'gentoo', 'unitedlinux', 'turbolinux ')): try to obtain the Linux OS version. returns (distname, version, id ). dist indicates the release version.
• Mac_ver (release = '', versioninfo = ('', '',''), machine = ''): mac version
• Java_ver (release = '', vendor ='', vminfo = ('','', ''), osinfo = ('','','')): java version
• Libc_ver (executable = r 'C: \ Python27 \ python.exe ', lib = '', version ='', chunksize = 2048): linux version.

The returned tuples of the query in the corresponding version correspond to their form parameters.

System Information

• Uname (): returns the tuples, system, node, release, version, machine, processor.
• Architecture (executable = r 'C: \ Python27 \ python.exe ', bits = '', linkage =''): System architecture
• Machine (): CPU platform, AMD, x86? (See example)
• Node (): node name (machine name, such as Hom-T400)
• Processor (): CPU Information
• System_alias (system, release, version): returns the corresponding tuples.
• Platform. architecture ()

Python Problems

• Python_version (): py version
• Python_branch (): python Branch (subversion information), which is generally empty.
• Python_build (): python build number (default) and date.
• Python_compiler (): py compiler Information
• Python_implementation (): python installation and implementation methods, such as CPython, Jython, Pypy, IronPython (. net.
• Python_revision (): python type modified version information, usually empty.
• Python_version_tuple (): tuple after the python version number is split.
• Popen (cmd, mode = 'R', bufsize = None): portable popen () interface, execute various commands.
• Python_verison ()

Get User Name:

>>> import getpass >>> getpass.getuser() 'root'

Get environment variables:

>>> Import OS >>> import pwd >>> OS. environ ['lang '] 'en _ US.UTF-8'> print OS. getenv ('lang ') en_US.UTF-8> print OS. getenv ('pwd')/root> print OS. getenv ('home')/root> print OS. getenv ('user') root >>> print OS. getenv ('hostname') localhost. localdomain >>> print OS. getenv ('shell')/bin/bash> pwd. getpwuid (OS. getuid () pwd. struct_passwd (pw_name = 'root', pw_passwd = 'x', pw_uid = 0, pw_gid = 0, pw_gecos = 'root', pw_dir = '/root ', pw_shell = '/bin/bash')> pwd. getpwuid (OS. getuid () [0] # obtain the username 'root'> pwd. getpwuid (OS. getuid () [5] # obtain the home directory '/root'> pwd. getpwuid (OS. getuid () [6] # Get shell '/bin/bash'

There is also an OS. environ. get, which will return all environment variables as a dictionary.
