> what is the difference sys.platform is defined by code path taken while compiling. it is hardcoded and really represents the os abi used of a *supported* platform, it is to be trusted. while sysconfig.get_platform() try to guess from various sources with more or less success. > changing sys.platform on windows there are a number of different abi ( eg msvc (32/64 supported) / cygwin / mingw / midipix .... ) and one should expect sys.platform to point to the correct one. The maintainers ( like steve.dower ) help choose carrefully those codes and ensure they will always work, so i think you have been answered. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue35896> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
