Hi, For relative paths, os.path module will do the trick - it is platform independent. Use os.path's ``join``/``split`` methods and ``sep`` attribute. If you are depending on absolute paths (which probably for both platforms would just differ) you may simply call platform.system() and write a switch doing the magic depending on what you got.
By the way, having two different files may not be that bad. On the other hand, settings module for django is just a python module and as so, you may make any magic tricks you want. You may even consider splitting settings or establishing 'ini' file. Be sure to check wiki at http://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/SplitSettings - there is nice write up about settings module. Good luck.
