version/compile info

[Skaperen]

so it really was (not is, anymore) the Linux version. you know they could have done:

  if 'linux' in sys.platform: # Is it any version of Linux?

so does the "win32" platform have any 64-bit capability? maybe i'll just keep on offending Microsoft by saying "they don't even have a 64-bit API, yet, and are still doing 'win32'". or people need to do:

  if 'win' in sys.platform:
        raise TypeError('Bad platform type == you lose')
