During the transition from python 2.7.10 to 2.7.11 some code seems to have been lost. platform.linux_distribution() is not able to recognise Debian based distributions in python 2.7.11.
The following code was present in platform.py, python 2.7.10, but seems to be missing in 2.7.11
# check for the LSB /etc/lsb-release file first, needed so
# that the distribution doesn't get identified as Debian.
try:
with open("/etc/lsb-release", "rU") as etclsbrel:
for line in etclsbrel:
m = _distributor_id_file_re.search(line)
if m:
_u_distname = m.group(1).strip()
m = _release_file_re.search(line)
if m:
_u_version = m.group(1).strip()
m = _codename_file_re.search(line)
if m:
_u_id = m.group(1).strip()
if _u_distname and _u_version:
return (_u_distname, _u_version, _u_id)
except (EnvironmentError, UnboundLocalError):
pass

The quoted code doesn't exist in 2.7.10 (https://hg.python.org/cpython/file/v2.7.10/Lib/platform.py) It looks like it's from a patch applied by Debian themselves: see http://sources.debian.net/src/python2.7/2.7.11-3/debian/patches/platform-lsbrelease.diff/?hl=33#L33 |

I think Kevin is right. Debian often carries its own downstream patches. In this case, the patch was proposed in Issue 9514, which is closed as “won’t fix”. In Python 3, linux_distribution() is apparently deprecated (Issue 1322). |

From the last two comments, it looks like this should be closed as 'not a bug'. |
