os.environ is a dictionary:

>>> os.environ['OS']

Gordon asked you to try os.environ['OS'],
not os.environ('OS') ;-)

Windows gives an AttributeError.

os.environ['OS'] gives "Windows_NT" on my NT box. Maybe some Win9xers
could try it on theirs...

Well, now both 95 and 98 say:

>>> import os
>>> os.environ['OS']
Traceback (innermost last):
File "<pyshell#1>", line 1, in ?
os.environ['OS']
File "D:\Program Files\Python\Lib\os.py", line 247, in __getitem__
return self.data[string.upper(key)]
KeyError: OS

By the way, in windows at a command prompt:

95,98: net config
nt: net config [server|workstation]

gives a line that starts : Software version

I thought I'd key in it a script real quick, but I don't have
enough time now to wrap it up. Maybe it will get you started.


def getwinver():
import os
winver = None
test = os.system('net config > xxconfig.net')
if test == 0:
f = open('xxconfig.net', 'r')
config = f.readlines()
f.close()
for line in config:
print line
if line[:16] == "Software version":
winver = line
else:
pass # test value is error code
return winver

Wouldn't "ver" be easier?

It sure would. Any idea how you would get the result back into python
without having the dos command windows flash up on the screen?

On Windows NT I use win32pipe:
i,o,e=win32pipe.popen3('ver')
ret=o.readlines()

Thank you,

that'll have to do it.

Ciao,

High Arpard,

thanx for help but I got probs with that popen3 under Win95:
'o.readlines()' doesn't return anymore. To find out I checked
it line per line:

Python 1.5.2 (#0, Apr 13 1999, 10:51:12) [MSC 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
Copyright 1991-1995 Stichting Mathematisch Centrum, Amsterdam
>>> import win32pipe
>>> i,o,e=win32pipe.popen3('ver', 'b')
>>> o.readline()
'\015\012'
>>> o.readline()
'Windows 95. [Version 4.00.1111]\015\012'
>>> o.readline()
'\015\012'
>>> o.readline()

Don't know why, but it never;-) returns.
Perhaps it may be a bug in win32pipe, that it doesn't return
becourse readline couldn't find CarriageReturn/EOF?

I took win32pipe.popen('ver','r') for a better solution.
That works fine.

greetings,
Holger
