Is there a way to find out the name of the OS distribution a script is running on ? E.g. I'd like a function that returns 'Redhat6.1'/'SuSE6.2' or 'Win95'/'Win98'/'WinNT' or 'MacOS8'/'MacOS9' etc. -- Marc-Andre Lemburg ______________________________________________________________________ Y2000: 71 days left Business: http://www.lemburg.com/ Python Pages: http://www.lemburg.com/python/
