--- Comment #1 from Tim Serong tserong@suse.com --- I went digging a little deeper, and it seems that platform.linux_distribution() is deprecated since python 3.5, and will be removed in python 3.7 (see https://docs.python.org/3.6/library/platform.html#platform.linux_distributio...).
There's some longer discussion at http://bugs.python.org/issue1322, http://bugs.python.org/issue20454 and other places, and I get the distinct impression nobody is interesting in fixing this for python 2.x, and that anyone who wants this function is being steered towards using https://pypi.python.org/pypi/distro instead.
