Steve Dower added the comment:

The patch makes it a little clearer, but I'd prefer the OS to be "win32" rather 
than just "win". Win32 is the name of the API set that Python is built against 
- it's as close to an ABI for the operating system as we ever get.

(For contrast, WinRT is the only other API set, and it's not entirely 
compatible with Win32 even though there is some overlap. Python currently 
doesn't support WinRT except in the custom builds used for PTVS for IoT at 
http://ms-iot.github.io/content/Downloads.htm - it's a bit tricky to get to the 
dl from there though...)
