sys.platform is actually not needed anymore once you use platform, it  
seems.

So if you run this script:
--
import platform
platform.platform()
platform.uname()
--
You will get all the information that is necessary. And then you just  
need to provide it with a human-determined name of the operating  
system you're using.

My output:

  >>> import platform
  >>> platform.platform()
  'Darwin-8.6.0-Power_Macintosh-powerpc-32bit'
  >>> platform.uname()
  ('Darwin', 'imac-g5-van-michiel-sikma.local', '8.6.0', 'Darwin  
Kernel Version 8.6.0: Tue Mar  7 16:58:48 PST 2006;  
root:xnu-792.6.70.obj~1/RELEASE_PPC', 'Power Macintosh', 'powerpc')

And I'm on Mac OS X 10.4.6 on a G5 iMac.
