Um, you're not phrasing your request very clearly, so perhaps I'm not understanding what you're looking for, but I can tell you that sys.platform is certainly not Linux-only. If you'll read the docs I pointed you to, you'll see a table: System platform value Windows 'win32' <other entries snipped> Cheers, Chris -- Shameless self-promotion: http://blog.rebertia.com -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
