Zooko O'Whielacronx <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: Here is an updated version of my patch which tries parsing /etc/lsb-release first and only if that fails tries executing lsb_release. The reason is that executing lsb_release in a subprocess takes half-a-second on my high-performance Athlon64 Ubuntu workstation, and also that some installations have /etc/lsb-release but not lsb_release. See the docstring for more details about why to do it this way and exactly what it does.
