Hi,

startswith('hp-ux') should also work as in real world it should be synonym with hp-ux11 ... see my reasoning below

I used 'hp-ux11' since this was the system I have access to and can test and I was not brave enought to assume that the patch will work on future or past version.

According to wikipedia HP-UX 11.00 was relesed in 1997... and I see a trend to change the minor version number . Latest is 11.31 released in 2007...

HPUX 10 is from 1995 and I am not sure if Python will work at all on such a system.

As a side node, i think that  HPUX will slowly die and we will not see an HP-UX 12.

Cheers,
Adi
