STINNER Victor <victor.stin...@haypocalc.com> added the comment:

sys.platform comes from Py_GetPlatform() which comes from PLATFORM define. On 
Linux, this define comes from Makefile: MACHDEP variable which comes from 
configure. Finally, MACHDEP is defined by:

        ac_sys_system=`uname -s`
        if test "$ac_sys_system" = "AIX" \
        -o "$ac_sys_system" = "UnixWare" -o "$ac_sys_system" = "OpenUNIX"; then
                ac_sys_release=`uname -v`
        else
                ac_sys_release=`uname -r`
        fi
        ac_md_system=`echo $ac_sys_system |
                           tr -d '/ ' | tr '[A-Z]' '[a-z]'`
        ac_md_release=`echo $ac_sys_release |
                           tr -d '/ ' | sed 's/^[A-Z]\.//' | sed 's/\..*//'`
        MACHDEP="$ac_md_system$ac_md_release"
