[New-bugs-announce] [issue9966] platform : a boolean to know easily when a system is posix

[Florent Gallaire]

New submission from Florent Gallaire <fgallaire at gmail.com>:

Hi,

The platform module could provide a boolean to know easily if a system is posix or not.

The expected result, when the system is posix :

>>> import platform
>>> platform.isposix
True

otherwise :

>>> import platform
>>> platform.isposix
False

Here is a patch to do so. It also provides an update for the platform
documentation and a test case.

Best regards

Florent Gallaire
