I didn't test it, but I *guess* this is identical to
Python's sys.platform variable.
Just start a python shell from Windows or Linux and type
import sys
sys.platform

Windows2000:

C:\>python
Python 2.0.42-S1.4.18 (#8, Apr 18 2001, 21:40:17) [MSC 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import sys
>>> sys.platform
'win32'
>>>

SuSE Linux 7.2:

virtual:~ # python
Python 2.0 (#1, May 16 2001, 00:02:45)
[GCC 2.95.3 20010315 (SuSE)] on linux2
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import sys
>>> sys.platform
'linux2'
>>>
