Python: What OS am I running on?
>>> import os>>> os.name'posix'>>> import platform>>> platform.system()'Linux'>>> platform.release()'2.6.22-15-generic'The output of platform.system() is as follows:
- Linux:
Linux - Mac:
Darwin - Windows:
Windows
See: platform — Access to underlying platform’s identifying data
Dang -- lbrandy beat me to the punch, but that doesn't mean I can't provide you with the system results for Vista!
>>> import os>>> os.name'nt'>>> import platform>>> platform.system()'Windows'>>> platform.release()'Vista'...and I can’t believe no one’s posted one for Windows 10 yet:
>>> import os>>> os.name'nt'>>> import platform>>> platform.system()'Windows'>>> platform.release()'10'
For the record here's the results on Mac:
>>> import os>>> os.name'posix'>>> import platform>>> platform.system()'Darwin'>>> platform.release()'8.11.1'
