@reddypdl can you do python -c 'import platform; print(platform.python_implementation())', if not can you tell us how you built this version of Python? The platform module is a standard library module and platform.python_implementation() has been around since Python 2.3 so if this is a real version of Python 2.7, then that function should be present. Also is it possible you have a platform.py file in the same directory? If so, please rename it.

Thanks sigmavirus24 , i had a python package called platform in the same folder , so it was picking-up automatically.
