This string contains a platform identifier that can be used to append
platform-specific components to :data:`sys.path`, for instance.
- For Unix systems, this is the lowercased OS name as returned by ``uname -s``

Windows ``'win32'``
Windows/Cygwin ``'cygwin'``
Mac OS X ``'darwin'``

I don't think that I need a :versionchanged:`2.7.3`.
