Py-osinfo should work without any extra programs or libraries, beyond what your OS provides. The goal is for this to work on every OS that Python supports. Works on Linux, OS X, Windows, BSD, Solaris, Cygwin, and Haiku.
Pip install
sudo pip install py-osinfo
sudo pip3 install py-osinfo
from osinfo import osinfo
Run as a script
$ python osinfo.py type: Linux brand: Slackware release: 14.1 kernel: (3, 13, 0)
Run as a library
import osinfo
os_type, os_brand, os_release, os_kernel = osinfo.get_os_info()
if os_type in osinfo.OSType.linux:
print("Looks like you're using Linux.")
if os_kernel < (3, 13, 1):
print("Your Linux kernel version is too old!")
if os_brand in osinfo.OSBrand.CentOS:
print("Looks like you're using CentOS.")
if os_release == '99.01':
print("OMG CentOS from 2099. Can I see the sorce code?")
