Here is an updated patch against Python 2.5 (your file was based on Python 2.5's platform.py, wasn't it?). CHANGES: * Added unit tests * Add Lib/test/platform directory for unit tests * removed usage of string * minor cleanups Now for the funny part. You have to port the patch to the svn trunk. The file can't be altered in the 2.5 release cycle. The changes are too great. Unfortunately the patch doesn't apply cleanly. Please add more test data to the platform/ directory and test_platform.py In order to build the trunk: svn co http://svn.python.org/projects/python/trunk cd trunk ./configure make patch -p0 < patchfile ./python Lib/test/test_platform.py svn diff > patchfile Christian __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1322> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
