Looks like some test borked the 2.7 tests on the buildbots.  Here's the offending test:


test test_platform failed -- Traceback (most recent call last):

This is on a PowerPC machine running Leopard:

>>> os.uname()[4]
'Power Macintosh'
>>>

So the problem is in the _mac_ver_xml() routine in Lib/platform.py, which says:


    machine = os.uname()[4]
    if machine == 'ppc':
        # for compatibility with the gestalt based code
        machine = 'PowerPC'

and perhaps should say:

    machine = os.uname()[4]
    if machine in ('ppc', 'Power Macintosh'):
        # for compatibility with the gestalt based code
        machine = 'PowerPC'

That's correct. Thanks for catching this, I will fix this asap.

Fixed in r83644 (3.x), r83645 (3.1), r83646 (2.7), r83651 (2.6)

I'm not yet closing the issue, I want to check the buildbots later today.
