Linux distro name parsing
- by Ockonal
Hello, I chose this way to get linux distro name:
ls /etc/*release
And now I have to parse it for name:
/etc/<name>-release
def checkDistro():
p = Popen('ls /etc/*release' , shell = True, stdout = PIPE)
distroRelease = p.stdout.read()
distroName = re.search( ur"\/etc\/(.*)\-release", distroRelease).group()
print distroName
But this prints the same string that is in distroRelease.
