How to find out what OS I'm running on?

Asked by Gorilla

Is there a way I can determine if my script is running on Windows 7 or Windows XP?

Thanks.

You should try one of these:

1.
import os
myOS = os.environ.get('OS')

2.
import os
myOS = os.name

3.
import sys
myOS = sys.platform

I don't know which of these works for your problem because I don't have a windows here to test it, but I hope one of these methods is the right one.

It turns out that os.name yields - java
os.getenv yields - Windows_NT
sys.platform yields - java1.6.0_32

Looks like I will have to pick one of the environment variables that has the user path defined. WIN7 has a path of C:\Users\[user]. WINXP has a path of C:\Documents and Settings\[user]. (My target machines are only WIN7 or WINXP)

Thanks for your help.
