Hello everybody,
I was thinking about making a really insignificant addition to an
online system that I'm making using Python: namely, I would like it
to print the platform that it is running on in a human-readable
manner. I was thinking of doing it like this:
import sys
platforms = {
'darwin': 'Darwin',
'win32': 'Microsoft Windows',
'freebsd6': 'FreeBSD 6.0'
}
def version():
return '%s, running on %s.' % (NAME, platforms[sys.platform])
However, in order to populate the list of platforms, I need to know
which strings sys.platform can return. I haven't found any
documentation on this, but I guess that I'm not looking in the right
places! Do any of you know where I can find a list of possible return
values from sys.platform? I'll settle for a Python C source code
file, too, if it contains strings.
Regards,
Michiel
