There is a Trove classifier, “Operating System”, which allows the package maintainer to declare one or more specific operating systems. For example, a package might have the trove classifiers “Operating System :: MacOS :: MacOS X” and “Operating System :: POSIX”. That is a positive assertion from the package maintainer that those operating systems are supported. > That is, do I download and install the same package on both Windows > and Linux systems? You should use ‘pip’ to decide which specific file to download for your platform. -- \ “How wonderful that we have met with a paradox.
