How to identify which OS Python is running on?

You can use the platform module in Python to identify which operating system the code is running on. The platform.system() function returns the name of the operating system. For example:

Use the platform module in Python to identify which operating system the code is running on

import platform

print(platform.system())

This will output the name of the operating system, such as 'Windows', 'Linux', or 'Darwin' for macOS.

Alternatively, you can use os.name

Use the os module in Python to identify which operating system the code is running on

import os
print(os.name)

This will return 'nt' for Windows, 'posix' for Linux and MacOS.
