You could try import win32api and checking for an exception ;-)

(Winky noted) Just in case anyone thinks that last is a useful idea, keep in mind that win32api is not installed (with the standard distribution) but must be installed with a separate download of the pywin32 package by Mark Hammond.

How about try: import msvcrt

Sure, that works, but it would make for pretty inscrutable code if you were doing this just to check whether you were on Windows, and not because you really intended to use the msvcrt module.

sys.platform exists for a good reason.  Use it!
