[Python-Dev] Mapping Darwin 8.2.0 to Mac OS X 10.4.2 in platform.py

[Wilfredo Sánchez Vega]

   IIRC, it doesn't exist on such a system; that's a Mac OS command,  
not a Darwin command.  (The man page correctly has "Mac OS X" in the  
footnote, not "Darwin" or "BSD", though I don't know that you can  
rely on that 100%.)
