In this article, we will see how we can show information about our system i.e processor name, name of system etc.
The Platform module is used to retrieve as much possible information about the platform on which the program is being currently executed. Now by platform info, it means information about the device, it’s OS, node, OS version, Python version, etc. This module plays a crucial role when you want to check whether your program is compatible with the python version installed on a particular system or whether the hardware specifications meet the requirements of your program.
In order to do this we need to import platform module.
import platform
Below is the Python implementation –
# importing module import platform # dictionary info = {} # platform details platform_details = platform.platform() # adding it to dictionary info["platform details"] = platform_details # system name system_name = platform.system() # adding it to dictionary info["system name"] = system_name # processor name processor_name = platform.processor() # adding it to dictionary info["processor name"] = processor_name # architectural detail architecture_details = platform.architecture() # adding it to dictionary info["architectural detail"] = architecture_details # printing the details for i, j in info.items(): print(i, " - ", j) |
Output :
platform details - Windows-10-10.0.17134-SP0
system name - Windows
processor name - Intel64 Family 6 Model 158 Stepping 10, GenuineIntel
architectural detail - ('64bit', 'WindowsPE')
Note : Output may vary based on you system architecture.
