Check for platform dependencies in the documentation of all modules that
you use.

I'm currently developing an app on Windows and testing it for production
on Linux. I use os.path.join() to construct pathnames and have encountered
no portability problems.

Yes. But note the advice about binary files in the documentation of the
open()/file() builtin function.

>os.walk works the same?

It works :-)
