    First, try to parse a file named "/etc/lsb-release".  If it exists, and
    contains the "DISTRIB_ID=" line and the "DISTRIB_RELEASE=" line, then return
    the strings parsed from that file.

    If that doesn't work, then invoke platform.dist().

    If that doesn't work, then try to execute "lsb_release", as standardized in
    2001:

    http://refspecs.freestandards.org/LSB_1.0.0/gLSB/lsbrelease.html

    The current version of the standard is here:

    http://refspecs.freestandards.org/LSB_3.2.0/LSB-Core-generic/LSB-Core-generic/lsbrelease.html

    that lsb_release emitted, as strings.

    Returns a tuple (distname,version). Distname is what LSB calls a
    "distributor id", e.g. "Ubuntu".  Version is what LSB calls a "release",
    e.g. "8.04".

    A version of this has been submitted to python as a patch for the standard
    library module "platform":
