Description

Detect Linux distribution information from Python code in a consistent way. It helps applications and installers understand distribution name, version, codename, and related platform details.

This is a helper library, not a system information app. Detection results should guide compatibility checks, not replace direct feature tests when a program depends on specific commands, libraries, or kernel behavior.
