Do you mean "operating system"? Try:

import sys
sys.platform # returns 'win32' on my Win2K system

import getpass
getpass.getuser() # returns (in my case) 'Administrator

"This function checks the environment variables LOGNAME, USER, LNAME and 
USERNAME, in order, and returns the value of the first one which is set to 
a non-empty string."
