python aidecoe@gentoo.org Amadeusz Żołnowski This is a small Python module that determines and returns standardized names for platforms, where the "standard" is Trent Mick's reasoning :) from experience building ActivePython on a fairly large number of platforms. The driving goal is to provide platform names that are: - relatively short - readable (as much as possible making matching the given name to an actually machine self-explanatory) - be capable enough to produce all names needed to distinguish all platform-specific application builds - generally safe for usage in filenames - not ugly (e.g. "MSWin32" is ugly)
