I guess that I could try and assemble some values and then submit them to the Python documentation. So here's the question of the day: what does your sys.platform tell you? :-) I'm on Mac OS X 10.4 and my sys.platform says 'darwin'. > Another method would be to send you an email if the value of > sys.platform doesn't exist in the dict yet.

I'm also sure that OS-specific code can also be found in online source code, so I'll see if I can find some there as well. Greets, Michiel -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
