Content
In general, we prefer to test for the presence of a feature rather than hard-coding operating systems names. when this is inevitable, we use sys.platform (say for different BSDs) or platform.linux_distribution (which returns meaningful values for most common distros). I don’t know how to detect your OS :) Could you open a feature request to add support for Arch in platform.linux_distribution in 3.3?
