[-]Add `platform.invalidate_caches` for invalidating cached results (follow-up of #122525)[/-][+]Add `platform.invalidate_caches` for invalidating cached results[/+]on Aug 1, 2024 One use case is when the host name changes (i.e., one of the uname() components change).
Mostly out of curiosity - is there any way to watch for host name change?
Well.. you could have a task that runs every second and checks whether the host name changed or not.
socket.gethostnamegives you the runtime one, so you'll need to query it every second.- added a commit that references this issue

Feature or enhancement
Proposal:
In #122525, it was observed that many functions of the
platformmodule use cached results. This is, in practice, preferrable, but it should also be possible, if needed, to invalidate cached results. One use case is when the host name changes (i.e., one of theuname()components change).Has this already been discussed elsewhere?
