These are not issues of computability...
True, but given that it is possible to access most *nix APIs from Python and win32all provides what I understand to be extensive access to the Win32 API from Python, cross-platform coding is almost always possible in Python. You might have to manually deal with each case yourself though. (More technically, I suppose that's being multi-platform with relatively easy DIY cross-platform).
