Request.Browser .Platform can determine what? UNIX or Linux?

Does the documented property value UNIX [1] mean the
Request.Browser .Platform property determines requests are being made from a
Linux machine?

I think UNIX generalizes among the various *nix family -- Irix, AIX, SCO,
Linux, etc.

You might have better lack parsing the string in this property:
Request.ServerV ariables["HTTP_USER_AGEN T"]

Hi, I've been using Python on both Windows 2000 and Linux for some time now. On Windows I've used PythonWin as editor, Emacs on Linux. This has been working ok so far. Now as Python will be a part of Mac OS X Panther will this affect Pythons support for platform-specific modules in a big way? I'm not a Mac-expert, but OS X is basically a Unix-clone as base with a Apple-GUI on top, right? So most *nix apps will compile and run nicely on...

I've written a simple application in python with an HTML help file. I'm looking for a cross platform way of launching the help file. On windows I'd use : os.system('start help.html') Which automatically opens the file with the users browser. Is there a cross-platform way of doing the same thing ?

Dear All, I'm currently developing a solution where large amounts of personalised emails are being created (and no, this is not spam...) on the ASP.NET platform and being delivered by a Debian Linux server running Qmail and mySQL.

This creates an awful lot of traffic and isn't really a good way of handling >100.000...

Hi everyone, My Python program needs reliably detect which Operating System its being run on, infact it even needs to know which distribution of say Linux its running on. The reason being its a GTK application that needs to adapt itself to be a Hildon application if run on devices like the N800. I have been searching around for an answer to this, and did find some messages on a lists that suggested the use of sys.platform to detect

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
