Summary: os.uname() on Darwin space in machine

Initial Comment:
os.uname() on Darwin (Mac OS X) returns a string for
"machine" of 
"Power MacIntosh" which can cause problems. Getting rid
of the space might be a good thing

os.uname() is simply a wrapper around the C library function of te same name. It returns "Power Macintosh" as the machine type.

For reasons I don't understand the C interface doesn't allow you to get at the "generic processor type" that is returned by "uname -p". This would probably be more useful (as the value is "powerpc"). But then, Linux gets it wrong, and returns "i686" for machine name and "unknown" for processor type, exactly the wrong way around.

There's no uploaded file!  You have to check the
checkbox labeled "Check to Upload & Attach File"
when you upload a file.

Please try again.

(This is a SourceForge annoyance that we can do
nothing about. :-( )
