red_sysinfo 0.1.1

Compile platform information from 'sys' and 'platform' modules into a single PLATFORM class.

Red-Sys

Access platform details from a single object.

Description

This module has a number of class objects, with properties derived from the platform and sys modules (part of Python's stdlib).

The cross-platform, main object of red-sys is the PlatformInfo class (defined in domain.platform.schemas). This class has properties like machine, which prints the machine's architecture (i.e. x86_x84), system (i.e. Linux), and more.

PlatformInfo also has details about the Python interpreter running a script where PlatformInfo is called. PlatformInfo.python has details like the interpreter's version, implementation, path, and more. You can view the class at domain.platform.schemas.PlatformPython.

Usage

Import the PlatformInfo object. 2 methods:

• An initialized CONSTANT
  • Import with: from red_sys import PLATFORM
  • The PLATFORM instance will be initialized from the environment.
    • Equivalent to PLATFORM = PlatformInfo()
• Use the .get_platform() function
  • Import the function with from red_sysinfo.utils import platform_utils
  • Define a variable, i.e. PLATFORM = platform_utils.get_platform()
    • Variable will contain an initialized instance of PlatformInfo
• Initialize an instance of the PlatformInfo class

  • from red_sys import PlatformInfo
    
    p: PlatformInfo = PlatformInfo()
    
    print(p.system())
    

To print a pre-formatted platform report, import the print_platform() function from red_sysinfo.domain.platform.utils and pass a PlatformInfo object.

Example:

from red_sysinfo import PLATFORM, print_platform()

print_platform(p=PLATFORM)

Optionally, call print_platform(print_large_values=True) to print values with a large output, like PLATFORM.python.modules.

The PlatformInfoBase class defines a number of functions and properties that children classes (classes inheriting from PlatformInfoBase, i.e. "PlatformInfo(PlatformInfoBase):") can access.

• .is_<platform>() functions, which return a bool if platform is detected
  • .is_linux()
  • .is_unix()
  • .is_win()
  • .is_mac()
  • .is_java()
• .is_<arch> functions, which return a bool if CPU architecture is detected
  • .is_32bit()
  • .is_64bit()
• .as_dict() function
  • Returns representation of class as a Python dict
  • Usage: PLATFORM.is_dict()

Enums

red-sys also has a number of enumerators for constants. These are defined in domain.enums.platform, and are separated by platform.
