I'm working on coding it. Basically the strings are a in a list.

# -- These strings describe different platforms
standard_platform_bits = ('windows','linux','mac',
                          'xp','vista',
                          'os/x',
                          '32','64',
                          'kde','gnome',
                          'wx',
                          'ubuntu','debian','suse','redhat','gentoo',
                          'centos','symbian'
                          )

Then they go into a dictionary:

platform_bits = {'windows' = False,
                 'linux' = False,
                 'mac' = False,
                 'xp' = False,
                 'vista' = False,
                 'os/x' = False,
                 '32' = False,
                 '64' = False,
                 'kde' = False,
                 'gnome' = False,
                 'wx' = False,
                 'gtk' = False,
                 'ubuntu' = False,
                 'debian' = False,
                 'suse' = False,
                 'redhat' = False,
                 'gentoo' = False,
                 'centos' = False,
                 'symbian = False'
                          }

   # -- See what our platform is
   def build_platform_bit_map():

       if sys.platform == 'darwin':
           self.platform_bits['mac'] = True

           # -- Further sub-bit determination
           ..

       else if sys.platform == 'win32':
           self.platform_bits['windows'] = True

           # -- Further sub-bit determination
           ..
       else if sys.platform == 'linux2':

           # -- Further sub-bit determination
           ..

I'm working on the rest.
