Ld

This release contains most enhancements that were in the pipe, and is ready for serious use. A few [open discussions points](https://github.com/nir0s/ld/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3A%22discussion+needed%22) exist though, and this is why this release is marked as a pre-release.

[API documentation](http://ld.readthedocs.org/) does exist and is complete.

This version is available on PyPI:


pip install ld


Testing could still be improved (see the [test-related open issues](https://github.com/nir0s/ld/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3A%22area%3A+test%22)), but the unit tests at this point cover the major distros and are fairly complete.

- Redhat should now work
- Full Test Coverage and a more organized testing framework
- Added some tests for additional distros and
- Fixed some minor bugs
- Preparations for first stable release.

- Added missing docstrings
- Basing LSB info on `lsb_release -a` instead of `/etc/lsb-release`. Apparently, the file is not a part of the standard.. but the command is.
- `ld.info()` no longer contains `name` and `codename` fields as they're not machine readable by default.
- `ld.name()` and `ld.version()` implementations are now more consistent between types of lookup mechanisms. Overall consistency improved.
- Testing coverage is now 96%
- Python3 fixes applied.

This is the first official release of ld.
- It is currently tested on Python 2.6, 2.7 and 3.5 - from here on out, contributions are welcome for additional versions, if required.
- There are still inconsistencies and other caveats stated in the README. Read these before using.
- Functionality is there in terms of retrieving the relevant types of information. Now, we need to expand it to support as many distro-specific cases.
