You are right. Not very smart. Especially because I use the ‘in’ a
little later.

It now is:
========================================================================
if not current_platform in accepted_platforms:
    raise Exception('Got an incompatiple platform: {0}'.
                    format(current_platform))
========================================================================

And I do not need is_good_platform anymore.
