[Python-ideas] Determine Windows version in platform module

[Giampaolo Rodola']

Today I was looking for a way to determine whether I was on Windows >=
Vista and couldn't find anything so I came up with this [1].

That led me to think about platform module.
Honestly I can't see the usefulness of it as it doesn't give you any usable
API to figure out what platform version you're on.
As such would something like [1] be acceptable for inclusion?
