Python gets operating system platform, version, and architecture

The Platform module provides information about the underlying system platform

System architecture

32-bit or 64-bit

>>>ImportPlatform>>>platform.architecture () ('64bit','ELF')#python 3.3.2+ bits on debian Jessie('32bit','WindowsPE')#python 3.3.2 bits on Windows 8.1('64bit','WindowsPE')#python 3.3.2 bits on Wndows 8.1('64bit',"')#python 3.4.1 bits on Mac OS X 10.9.4

Elf and windowsPE are executable file formats

Operating system
Linux,mac or Windows
