Python os

Python primarily stores information about the operating system in the sys and platform modules.

Operating System

import sys
import platform

sys.platform  # linux, linux2, FreeBSD, win32, darwin, ...
if sys.platform.startswith('linux'):
    # ...

platform.system()  # Linux, Windows, ...
platform.libc_ver()

Machine

import platform

platform.node()     # hostname
platform.version()
platform.uname()    # kernel info
