| On Archlinux: $ python2.7 -c 'import platform; print(platform.linux_distribution())' ('', '', '') This is because Archlinux is not part of the '_supported_dists' list. Could Archlinux be added to this list ? Thanks. |

| Hey guys, Just add: if os.path.exists('/etc/arch-release'): distname = 'arch' in "_dist_try_harder" then replace the old list with this one: _supported_dists = ( 'SuSE', 'debian', 'fedora', 'redhat', 'centos', 'mandrake', 'mandriva', 'rocks', 'slackware', 'yellowdog', 'gentoo', 'UnitedLinux', 'turbolinux', 'arch') And that's it, it works. |

| Since the direction we are heading seems to toward deprecating linux_distribution (see http://bugs.python.org/issue1322#msg207427), I think this issue should be closed. |

| The problem is, existing software (Ansible) relies on linux_distribution() |
