But I'm fairly sure that all platforms offer something specific, and there's nothing to stop you wrapping that up in a module with conditional imports or judicious use of the platform module or whatever. See the various list archives for Windows answers to this, at least. (Check comp.lang.python & python-win32). Not sure about Linux/OSX but again c.l.py is a good start.
