Hi, In my code, I have a section which is not cross platform, thus I'm checking the OS name to call the matching OS-specific calls.
In all Unices, using platform.system() returned the OS name just fine. Is there a better way for getting the OS name on both CPython & IronPython? 10x! - Oren On Thursday 08 January 2009 18:33:50 Curt Hagenlocher wrote: > This is by design.
