On an MS Windows system, os.uname()[0] raises an AttributeError -- sys
doesn't seem to contain uname. Is that a Linux thing? Would os.name
work on Linux? Or would one have to use exception handling and catch
the Windows case?

That's the trouble with using anything in os, of course -- it's os
dependent, which is why it's there! :-)
