could you ... find and run python.exe from a cmd.exe DOS box and
post the results of typing the following commands at the
'>>>' prompt:
....
import os
os.name
os.environ
actually don't bother to post the long result from os.environ, just:
os.environ['OS']
In 32bit linux I get:
sys.platform
'linux2'
os.name
'posix'
os.environ['OS']
[error because it's not set]
platform.system()
'Linux'

Dear friends
Sorry for my delay:
Here you have the results on a AMD64/Vista:
C:\Python25>python
Python 2.5.4 (r254:67916, Dec 23 2008, 15:19:34) [MSC v.1400 64 bit (AMD64)] on
win32
Type “help”, “copyright”, “credits” or “license” for more information.
import sys
sys.platform
‘win32’
import os
os.name
‘nt’
os.environ[‘OS’]
‘Windows_NT’
import platform
platform.system()
‘Windows’
Cheers
