def __init__(self, name=None, platform=None): (source)

Undocumented

def isKnown(self): (source)

Do we know about this platform?

Returns Boolean indicating whether this is a known platform or not. (type: bool)

def getType(self): (source)

Get platform type.

Returns Either 'posix', 'win32' or 'java' (type: str)

def isMacOSX(self): (source)

Check if current platform is Mac OS X.

Returns True if the current platform has been detected as OS X. (type: bool)

def isWinNT(self): (source)

Are we running in Windows NT?

This is deprecated and always returns True on win32 because Twisted only supports Windows NT-derived platforms at this point.

Returns True if the current platform has been detected as Windows NT. (type: bool)

def isWindows(self): (source)

Are we running in Windows?

Returns True if the current platform has been detected as Windows. (type: bool)

def isVista(self): (source)

Check if current platform is Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008.

Returns True if the current platform has been detected as Vista (type: bool)

def isLinux(self): (source)

Check if current platform is Linux.

Returns True if the current platform has been detected as Linux. (type: bool)

def isDocker(self, _initCGroupLocation='/proc/1/cgroup'): (source)

Check if the current platform is Linux in a Docker container.

Returns True if the current platform has been detected as Linux inside a Docker container. (type: bool)

def _supportsSymlinks(self): (source)

Check for symlink support usable for Twisted's purposes.

Returns True if symlinks are supported on the current platform, otherwise False. (type: bool)

def supportsThreads(self): (source)

Can threads be created?

Returns True if the threads are supported on the current platform. (type: bool)

def supportsINotify(self): (source)

Return True if we can use the inotify API on this platform.
