.. function:: uname()
Fairly portable uname interface. Returns a tuple of strings ``(system, node,
release, version, machine, processor)`` identifying the underlying platform.
Fairly portable uname interface. Returns a :func:`~collections.namedtuple`
containing six attributes: :attr:`system`, :attr:`node`, :attr:`release`,
:attr:`version`, :attr:`machine`, and :attr:`processor`.
Note that unlike the :func:`os.uname` function this also returns possible
processor information as additional tuple entry.
Note that this adds a sixth attribute (:attr:`processor`) not present
in the :func:`os.uname` result. Also, the attribute names are different
for the first two attributes; :func:`os.uname` names them
:attr:`sysname` and :attr:`nodename`.
Entries which cannot be determined are set to ``''``.
.. versionchanged:: 3.3
Result changed from a tuple to a namedtuple.
