"Python's stdlib contains other modules that contain code for older versions of Python. The platform module even contains lines like "os.devnull was added in Python 2.4, so emulate it for earlier"."
I never understood why the platform module should be backport compatible. Marc Andre Lemburg wrote that it is shipped externally. I don't understand the purpose of having a third party platform module since the module is part of the stdlib. |
