get_platform() function not used in install script

[artenator]

• py-solc Version: 1.2.1
• solc Version: 0.4.8
• Python Version: 2.7.12
• OS: linux (Ubuntu 16.04)

Output:

ValueError: Installation of solidity is not supported on your platform (linux2). Supported platforms are: darwin, linux

This is the output I get when I try to run:
python -m solc.install v0.4.8

I believe the issue is because the get_platform function is not actually used.

def get_platform():
    if sys.platform.startswith('linux'):
        return LINUX
    elif sys.platform == OSX:
        return OSX
    elif sys.platform == WINDOWS:
        return WINDOWS
    else:
        raise KeyError("Unknown platform: {0}".format(sys.platform))

As you can see, this uses "startswith" which would allow my "linux2" kernel to pass. But this function is not actually used... see below.

def install_solc(identifier, platform=None):
    if platform is None:
        platform = sys.platform

    if platform not in INSTALL_FUNCTIONS:
        raise ValueError(

This issue could be closed, it seems.
