Using PlatformInfo

Prerequisites:​

  • PlatformInfo installed (see previous guide).
    • If you are downloading PlatformInfo.py manually, please place the file in the same folder as your code
    • If you are using pip or the wheel from PyPi/GitHub, you are good to go!

Importing PlatformInfo and initializing a Platform​

To import PlatformInfo, add import platforminfo to the top of your code.

To initialize PlatformInfo, create a new Platform object. To do this, assign platforminfo.Platform() to a variable. This runs a quick platform check (to allow the code to determine stats such as kernel version and OS version without checking the platform every time).
