示例：

snippet.python

[root@bogon ~]# python
>>> import platform
>>> platform.dist()
('redhat', '7.6', 'Maipo')

示例：

snippet.python

[root@bogon ~]# python
>>> import platform
>>> platform.linux_distribution()
('Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server', '7.6', 'Maipo')

注意：dist即将被linux_distribution取代。建议使用后者。
