That's not true:

Hi again,
I get back to this old "thread".
sys.platform returns indeed "win32" under Windows.
os.name should return "posix" even under Windows if we are under Cygwin
as Martin suggested.
Recently, someone advised me to use instead:
platform.system()
that returns only 3 different strings: Java

I can't test it right now, but I would expec
Hi Fredrik,
yes I've checked and I'm sure we don't assign os.name somewhere ourself.
I'll replace os.name == "posix" with sys.platform == "win32" as you
suggested and see how thing goes.
Thanks for your help,
Igor.

Hi!
We have an application using Python that is intended to work both under
Win32 and Linux.
Since some parts of the code need to be different depending whether we
are under Win32
or Linux, we use the traditional:
if os.name == "posix":
some Linux code
else:
some Win32 code
However, we hav
