[Светломир Балевски]

New submission from Светломир Балевски <s.balevski at gmail.com>:

Hi, I am using platform.system(). On linux I am using python3.6. 
>>> platform.system()
'Linux'
>>> platform.system() is 'Linux'
False 
>>> platform.system() == 'Linux'
True 

On Windows with python 3.7:

>>> platform.system()
'Windows'
>>> platform.system() is 'Windows'
True
>>> platform.system() == 'Windows'
True 

Is this a known problem?
