Something like:

if os.environ[OS]=='Linux':
	newtime= time.strptime(<some calculation>)
	os.system('/bin/date ' + newtime)
else if re.search('Windows',os.environ[OS]):
	newday= time.strptime('%M %D %Y', %<some calculation>)
	newtime= time.strptime('%H%m%s',<some other calculation>)
	os.system('date + ',newday)
	os.system('time + ',newtime)

You might try os.name as well.  Not as nice as an internal-to-Python
solution, but I don't know of another way.
