containing six attributes: :attr:`system`, :attr:`node`, :attr:`release`,
:attr:`version`, :attr:`machine`, and :attr:`processor`.

Note that this adds a sixth attribute (:attr:`processor`) not present
in the :func:`os.uname` result. Also, the attribute names are different
for the first two attributes; :func:`os.uname` names them
:attr:`sysname` and :attr:`nodename`.
:attr:`processor` is resolved late, on demand.

Note: the first two attribute names differ from the names presented by
:func:`os.uname`, where they are named :attr:`sysname` and
:attr:`nodename`.

Entries which cannot be determined are set to ``''``.

.. versionchanged:: 3.3
Result changed from a tuple to a :func:`~collections.namedtuple`.

.. versionchanged:: 3.9
:attr:`processor` is resolved late instead of immediately.
