Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import distro

https://distro.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

Lists "Amazon" as AmazonLinux

Yet the python-distro package is not available, and its not built in, I could try pip next?

Well at least on ubuntu, pip knows about distro, so it might be an option.

[richardforth]

On Ubuntu

$ pip install distro
Requirement already satisfied: distro in /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages (1.4.0)

[richardforth]

pip3 install distro
