[New-bugs-announce] [issue20454] platform.linux_distribution() returns empty value on Archlinux and python 2.7

[Francis Moreau]

New submission from Francis Moreau:

On Archlinux:

$ python2.7 -c 'import platform; print(platform.linux_distribution())'
('', '', '')

This is because Archlinux is not part of the '_supported_dists' list.

Could Archlinux be added to this list ?

Thanks.
