[New-bugs-announce] [issue7863] platform module doesn't detect Windows 7

[Adal Chiriliuc]

New submission from Adal Chiriliuc <adal.chiriliuc at gmail.com>:

Running python 32 bit on Windows 7 64 bit:
>>> import platform
>>> platform.platform()
'Windows-post2008Server-6.1.7600'

Should be corrected to display
'Windows-7-6.1.7600'

Fix:
>        elif maj == 6:
>            if min == 0:
>                    # ..................
>                    release = 'Vista'
>                else:
>                    if productType == VER_NT_WORKSTATION:
>                        release = 'Vista'
>                    else:
>                        release = '2008Server'
>            elif min == 1:
>                release = '7'
>            else:
>                release = 'post2008Server'
