platformVersion on elementary OS

[cerias]

Platform version and Platform Family gives different informations form psutil in python.

psutil: "elementary OS" 0.4 loki
goposutil: debian jessie

psutil tells me the truths. :)

I think psutil has no function which can get platform information.

I don't know elementary OS but if it has /etc/debian_version, gopsutil use it. Is there other way to detect elementary OS?

[cerias]

Ah sorry, i used the python platform.linux_distribution function.

/etc/debian_version returns different informations than lsb_release -a so

`
~ cat /etc/debian_version

jessie/sid

~ lsb_release -a

No LSB modules are available.

I read python source code and found it's read /etc/*[-_](release|version). So, could you tell me

• /etc/lsb-release
• /etc/os-release

or something and these contents? Thanks.

[cerias]

Nope, i think this would be enough.
