The ``distro`` package (``distro`` stands for Linux Distribution) provides
information about the Linux distribution it runs on, such as a reliable
machine-readable distro ID, or version information.
It is a renewed alternative implementation for Python's original
:py:func:`platform.linux_distribution` function, but it 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 :py:func:`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 OS distribution information
is needed. See `Python issue 1322 <https://bugs.python.org/issue1322>`_ for
more information.

The data it returns may not exactly be the same, because it uses more data
sources than the original function, and that may lead to different data if
the OS distribution is not consistent across multiple data sources it
provides (there are indeed such distributions ...).
Another reason for differences is the fact that the :func:`distro.id`

If you have a need to get distros for reliable IDs added into this set,
or if you find that the :func:`distro.id` function returns a different
distro ID for one of the listed distros, please create an issue in the
`distro issue tracker`_.
**Lookup hierarchy and transformations:**
First, the ID is obtained from the following sources, in the specified
order. The first available and non-empty value is used:
* the value of the "ID" attribute of the os-release file,
* the value of the "Distributor ID" attribute returned by the lsb_release
command,
* the first part of the file name of the distro release file,
The so determined ID value then passes the following transformations,
before it is returned by this method:
* it is translated to lower case,
* blanks (which should not be there anyway) are translated to underscores,
* a normalization of the ID is performed, based upon
`normalization tables`_. The purpose of this normalization is to ensure
that the ID is as reliable as possible, even across incompatible changes
in the OS distributions. A common reason for an incompatible change is
the addition of an os-release file, or the addition of the lsb_release
command, with ID values that differ from what was previously determined
from the distro release file name.

Some distributions provide version numbers with different precisions in
the different sources of distribution information. Examining the different
sources in a fixed priority order does not always yield the most precise
version (e.g. for Debian 8.2, or CentOS 7.1).
The *best* parameter can be used to control the approach for the returned

the examined sources is returned.
If *best* is true, the most precise version number out of all examined
sources is returned.
**Lookup hierarchy:**
In all cases, the version number is obtained from the following sources.
If *best* is false, this order represents the priority order:
* the value of the "VERSION_ID" attribute of the os-release file,
* the value of the "Release" attribute returned by the lsb_release
