  this doesn't help me for the rest of the platforms
available.


=====  from the docs:

  if sys.platform.startswith('freebsd'):
    # FreeBSD-specific code here...
elif sys.platform.startswith('linux'):
    # Linux-specific code here...

For other systems, the values are:
System 	platform value
Linux           'linux'
Windows         'win32'
Windows/Cygwin  'cygwin'
Mac OS X        'darwin'

=====

  no win64?
  no arm(s)?

  no legs(a joke :)...

  the above is missing a lot of devices.

  i looked around for something more complete
and didn't come across anything more definitive
that looked to be up to date.
