I want to have access to the OS name and Version from inside my Python code. Is there any environmental variable I can use for that purpose?

Note that I want to get the OS name and version that appears on the About this mac on my Mac. With platform.uname() I get different OS name and version!

  • But there is an issue, My OS name is "OS X Yosemite" and the version is "10.10.1" but what I get from platform.uname() or os.uname() is "Darwin" and "14.0.0" instead. What is the reason? Commented Jul 11, 2015 at 21:47
