Extra Platforms

What is Extra Platforms?

• Provides a list of all known platforms
• Detect the current platform, at the distribution level
• Gather current platform metadata (version, codename, etc.)
• Group platforms into families
• Manage collection of platforms and groups
• Associate each platform and group to an emoji symbol
• New conditional markers for pytest:
  • @skip_linux, @skip_macos and @skip_windows
  • @unless_linux, @unless_macos and @unless_windows
• Address distro#177 issue (support for Windows and Mac OS)

Examples

Get the current platform, from which you can access lots of metadata:

>>> from extra_platforms import current_os

>>> my_os = current_os()
>>> my_os
Platform(id='macos', name='macOS', current=True)

>>> my_os.id
'macos'
>>> my_os.name
'macOS'
>>> my_os.icon
'🍎'

>>> my_os.info()
{
    "id": "macos",
    "name": "macOS",
    "icon": "🍎",
    "current": True,
    "distro_id": "darwin",
    "version": "23.6.0",
    "version_parts": {"major": "23", "minor": "6", "build_number": "0"},
    "like": None,
    "codename": None,
}

Check if a platform is a specific system:

>>> from extra_platforms import is_gentoo

>>> is_gentoo()
False

Use groups to check if the current platform is part of a specific family:

>>> from extra_platforms import UNIX, current_os

>>> current_os() in UNIX
False

Or directly use the boolean variables available for each family:

>>> from extra_platforms import is_unix

>>> is_unix()
False

List all platforms of a family:

>>> from extra_platforms import LINUX

>>> LINUX
Group(id='linux', name='Any Linux', platform_ids=frozenset({'ibm_powerkvm', 'rocky', 'debian', 'tuxedo', 'ubuntu', 'mageia', 'xenserver', 'opensuse', 'nobara', 'buildroot', 'rhel', 'parallels', 'pidora', 'sles', 'amzn', 'scientific', 'linuxmint', 'centos', 'android', 'gentoo', 'raspbian', 'unknown_linux', 'mandriva', 'exherbo', 'cloudlinux', 'fedora', 'guix', 'arch', 'altlinux', 'slackware', 'oracle', 'kvmibm'}))

>>> print("\n".join([p.name for p in LINUX]))

Reduce a disparate collection of groups and platforms into a minimal descriptive set, by grouping all platforms into families:

>>> from extra_platforms import AIX, MACOS, SOLARIS, reduce

>>> reduce([AIX, MACOS])
{
    Platform(id='aix', name='IBM AIX', current=False),
    Platform(id='macos', name='macOS', current=True),
}

>>> reduce([AIX, MACOS, SOLARIS])
{
    Group(id='system_v', name='Any Unix derived from AT&T System Five', platform_ids=frozenset({'aix', 'solaris'})),
    Platform(id='macos', name='macOS', current=True),
}
