Description : The distro (for: Linux Distribution) package provides information about the
: Linux distribution it runs on, such as a reliable machine-readable ID, or
: version information.
:
: It is a renewed alternative implementation for Python's original
: platform.linux_distribution function, but it also provides much more
: functionality. An alternative implementation became necessary because
: Python 3.5 deprecated this function, and Python 3.7 is expected to remove it
: altogether. Its predecessor function platform.dist was already deprecated since
: Python 2.6 and is also expected to be removed in Python 3.7. Still, there are
: many cases in which access to that information is needed. See Python issue 1322
: for more information.
