So I'm wondering if there's a more-or-less stand...
I'm working on a couple of Linux tools and need to prevent installation on Windows, since it depends on FHS and is thus rendered useless on that platform. The platform.platform function comes close but only returns a string. Unfortunately I don't know what to search for in that string for it to yield a reliable result. Does anyone know w...
I need to check the platform I'm on, meaning: processor, operating system, and operating system version. An example I currently have is i686-apple-darwin10.

I have a game engine design written in C++ where a platform-independent game object is contained within a platform-specific Application object. The problem I'm trying to solve is the case where I need to pass OS-specific data from the Application to the game. In this case, I'd need to pass the main HWND from Windows for DirectX or an O...
