This is not available everywhere, not even on Linux distributions. Why would you implement something which only works on 50% of existing Linux distributions? Who would even use that? And for what would you use it? You have a distro module available now from PyPi, you can use that one instead, and it gives 100% correct results for all currently known distros, and can be updated independent of Python releases.
If it's that a simple function, then please implement it for your own needs. I think it's bad style too, to rely on specific distro and release information instead of checking release names and versions. Such a style should not be encouraged in the standard lib from my point of view. |
