How to Strip Python Output

Question

I want to strip platform.linux_distribution().

Output is tuple ('Ubuntu', '11.10', 'oneiric') but I want to show it as "Ubuntu 11.10 oneriric"

.group(1) is not working.

Not clear on the question. Are you trying to just format a tuple into a string? — Joe, Oct 26 '11 at 23:56

You're looking for " ".join():

>>> import platform
>>> platform.linux_distribution()
('Ubuntu', '11.04', 'natty')
>>> " ".join(platform.linux_distribution())
'Ubuntu 11.04 natty'
>>>

how about:

' '.join(platform.linux_distribution())

I'm on a mac, so I don't have platform.linux_distribution(), but it looks like it should return an array.
