New submission from Peter Bittner <peter.bitt...@gmx.net>:
The platform module's documentation mentions 'Linux', 'Windows' and 'Java' explicitly as values for `platform.system()`. https://docs.python.org/3/library/platform.html#platform.system Given the popularity of macOS among developers, this gives the impression that the module won't detect 'Darwin' as a separate system type; developers may suspect this will be identified also as a "Linux-y" system (or so). Hence, 'Darwin' should be mentioned explicitly as one of the possible values. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 360248 nosy: bittner, docs@python priority: normal pull_requests: 17448 severity: normal status: open title: Mention Darwin as a potential value for platform.system() type: enhancement versions: Python 3.9 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue39383> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
