proj_flow.base.uname

The proj_flow.base.uname provides platform information usable in packaging.

proj_flow.base.uname.uname() → Tuple[str, str | None, str]

Return normalized information from platform module.

Specifically, the machine architecture is swapped from “amd64” to “x86_64”, which is more common in package filenames.

On Windows system, with OS not easily returning current version and with high level of backward compatibility, system version is removed all-together.

On Linux systems, true name of the system is retrieved, using platform.freedesktop_os_release(). On systems, where Python is missing this function, a fallback is made to “linux” and version returned by platform.uname().

Returns:

a tuple consisting of system name, version and machine architecture
