[New-bugs-announce] [issue7895] Mac 10.6 mac_ver() crashes with USING_FORK_WITHOUT_EXEC_IS_NOT_SUPPORTED_BY_FILE_MANAGER

[Aahz]

New submission from Aahz <aahz at pythoncraft.com>:

On OSX 10.6/Snow Leopard, using platform.mac_ver() in a subprocess
created with fork() but not calling exec() will cause a crash with
USING_FORK_WITHOUT_EXEC_IS_NOT_SUPPORTED_BY_FILE_MANAGER

You may need to be also running in GUI mode.

Ronald Oussouren says that you can get the same info from
/System/Library/CoreServices/SystemVersion.plist
