Possible values from sys.platform?

Question

What are the possible return values from the following command? ``` import sys print sys.platform ``` I know there is a lot of possibilities, so I'm mainly interested in the "main" ones (Windows, Linux, Mac OS)

Accepted Answer

Mac OS X (10.4, 10.5, 10.7, 10.8):

```
darwin
```

Linux (2.6 kernel):

```
linux2
```

Windows XP 32 bit:

```
win32
```

Versions in brackets have been checked - other/newer versions are likely to be the same.
