Functions

func Compiler

func Compiler() string

Compiler returns the Go toolchain identifier that built the running binary (e.g. "go1.26"). Mirrors CPython's Py_GetCompiler, which returns a string like "[GCC 13.2.0]".

func Platform

func Platform() string

Platform returns the platform string in the form "GOOS/GOARCH" (e.g. "darwin/arm64", "linux/amd64"). Mirrors CPython's Py_GetPlatform.

CPython: Python/getplatform.c:9 Py_GetPlatform

func VersionString

func VersionString() string

VersionString returns the full version banner.
