Can python detect which OS is it running under?
Use sys.platform
. You can find more information here http://docs.python.org/library/platform.html
see here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/58689984/3752715
import platform
plt = platform.system()
if plt == "Windows": print("Your system is Windows")
elif plt == "Linux": print("Your system is Linux")
elif plt == "Darwin": print("Your system is MacOS")
else: print("Unidentified system")
you can see my github repo https://github.com/sk3pp3r/PyOS and use pyos.py script
I usually just use this:
import os
if os.name == 'nt':
pass # Windows
else:
pass # other (unix)
edit:
Hopefully in response to your comments:
from time import strftime
import os
if os.name == 'nt': # Windows
basePath = 'C:\\working\\'
else:
basePath = '/working/'
Fn = '%sSetup%s.csv' % ( basePath, strftime( '%y%m%d' ) )
