[issue24063] Support Mageia and Arch Linux in the platform module

[Karthikeyan Singaravelan]

Karthikeyan Singaravelan  added the comment:

Just to add some more context the function platform.linux_distribution() was 
removed in Python 3 with 8b94b41ab7b12f745dea744e8940631318816935. Refer 
https://bugs.python.org/issue28167 for more discussion. 
https://pypi.org/project/distro/ is the recommended package for this. I am not 
sure if this can be added to Python 2 though.

Thanks

[issue24063] Support Mageia and Arch Linux in the platform module

[Rémi Verschelde]

New submission from Rémi Verschelde:

Support for Mageia and Arch Linux was added in the platform module for Python 
3.x [1, 2], but the fix was not backported to the 2.7.x branch.

It would be nice to see these fixes cherry-picked for the incoming 2.7.10 
release.
