Operating system related

  • system(): operating system type (see example)
  • version(): operating system version
  • release(): operating system release number, for example, win 7 returns 7, and NT, 2.2.0, etc.
  • platform(aliased=0, terse=0): operating system information string, combined with system()+win32_ver()[:3]
  • win32_ver(release='', version='', csd='', ptype=''): win system related information
  • linux_distribution(distname='', version='', id='', supported_dists=('SuSE', 'debiaare', 'yellowdog', 'gentoo', 'UnitedLinux', 'turbolinux'), full_distribution_name= 1): Linux system related information
  • dist(distname='', version='', id='', supported_dists=('SuSE', 'debian', 'fedora', 'redhat', 'centos', 'mandrake', 'mandriva' , 'rocks', 'slackware', 'yellowdog', 'gentoo', 'UnitedLinux', 'turbolinux')): Try to obtain Linux OS release version information. Return (distname, version, id). dist means release version .
  • mac_ver(release='', versioninfo=('', '', ''), machine=''): mac version
  • java_ver(release='', vendor='', vminfo=('', '', ''), osinfo=('', '', '')): java version
  • libc_ver(executable=r'c:Python27python.exe', lib='', version='', chunksize=2048): libc version, Linux related.

The returned tuple of the above corresponding version query corresponds to its formal parameters.

System Information

  • uname(): Returns tuple, system, node, release, version, machine, processor.
  • architecture(executable=r'c:Python27python.exe', bits='', linkage=''): System architecture
  • machine(): CPU platform, AMD, x86? (see example)
  • node(): node name (machine name, such as Hom-T400)
  • processor() : CPU information
  • system_alias(system, release, version): Returns the corresponding tuple.. Useless.

>>> os.environ['LANG']
'en_US.UTF-8'
>>> print os.getenv('LANG')
en_US.UTF-8
>>> print os.getenv('PWD')
/root
>>> print os.getenv('HOME')
/root
>>> print os.getenv('USER')
root
>>> print os.getenv('HOSTNAME')
localhost.localdomain
>>> print os.getenv('SHELL')
/bin/bash
>>> pwd.getpwuid(os.getuid())
pwd.struct_passwd(pw_name='root', pw_passwd='x', pw_uid=0, pw_gid=0, pw_gecos='root', pw_dir='/root', pw_shell='/bin/bash')
>>> pwd.getpwuid(os.getuid())[0] #获得用户名
'root'
>>> pwd.getpwuid(os.getuid())[5] #获得家目录
'/root'
>>> pwd.getpwuid(os.getuid())[6] #获得shell
'/bin/bash'
Copy after login

There is also os.environ.get, which will return all environment variables as a dictionary
