[issue9514] platform.linux_distribution() under Ubuntu returns ('debian', 'squeeze/sid', '')

[Matthias Klose]

Matthias Klose <doko at debian.org> added the comment:

IMO using lsb_release is not an option, because it can take some time to complete. So maybe it's better for the Ubuntu change to guard the check with the existance of /etc/debian_version.

Please could you attach a Mandriva lsb-release file?
