Note that distutils.util.get_platform() is, for POSIX platforms at
least, sys.platform on steroids:
def get_platform ():
"""Return a string that identifies the current platform. This is used
mainly to distinguish platform-specific build directories and
platform-specific built distributions. Typically includes the OS name
and version and the architecture (as supplied by 'os.uname()'),
although the exact information included depends on the OS; eg. for IRIX
the architecture isn't particularly important (IRIX only runs on SGI
hardware), but for Linux the kernel version isn't particularly
important.
Examples of returned values:
linux-i586
linux-alpha (?)
solaris-2.6-sun4u
irix-5.3
irix64-6.2
For non-POSIX platforms, currently just returns 'sys.platform'.
"""
But then, much of the Distutils is other parts of the standard library
on steroids. (Sigh.)
