Message 307675 - Python tracker (original) (raw)

Over in the PR I suggested:

Here's another thought: what if you just added another getter that calls ip link list and placed that after one that calls ip link. Wouldn't that accomplish both goals? Then if ip link fails, we fall back to the old behavior, so nothing changes. It's uglier, but it doesn't special case for the Android platform, and eventually we can decide to remove ip link list altogether.
