根据操作系统，定义不同的方法

Question

Although Python doesn't have the C pre-processor, I wonder, what's a way to declare methods and variables depending on the OS? Something like:

class C1:

#if defined(WINDOWS)
        self.var1 = 1

        def method1(....):
            pass

#elif defined(LINUX)
        self.var2 = 1

        def method2(....):
            pass

#endif

My question isn't how to detect the platform only . But how to define different methods and variables depending on it also .

Answer 1

You can detect the current platform as follows

import platform
platform.system()

The output for me is

'Linux'
