Running OpenBSD on a PPC iBook G4:
$ python3.5
Python 3.5.1 (default, Mar 6 2016, 01:17:51)
[GCC 4.2.1 20070719 ] on openbsd5
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import platform
>>> platform.machine()
'macppc'
>>> platform.processor()
'powerpc'
Just in case it matters.
