Standard methods of determining the OS does not distinguish between regular Ubuntu and Snappy.

Ideally, we should have:
1. lsb_release should denote it is a snappy variant and disclose the channel, i.e
$ lsb_release --all
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 15.04
Release: 15.04
Codename: vivid
Variant: ubuntu-core
Channel: stable
2. Provide Python interface to determine if something is Snappy. |
