Detecting Windows or Linux in code

import os

if os.name == 'nt':
    #Windows
    pass
else:
    #Linux
    pass

Import

You can use the same if statement for import etc:

import os
if os.name == 'nt':
    #Windows
    import something_windows_based
else:
    #Linux
    import something_linux_based
