having worked on some other things for a while i
didn't put much emphasis on working on this until i
had the other bugs taken care of.
so now back into it we can go... :)
what i came up with (sorry, i hate yet another not
invented here thing, but this is just where i ended up
after some pondering).
simply put. if i'm running on a computer and i
don't easily know why kind of computer how can i
answer this in a quick way without getting overly
complicated that also will cover most of the easy
cases?
i came up with this:
comments? additions? clarifications?
i don't have a windows system to test this on,
does it work?
thanks :)

import re
import tempfile
def sysprobe ():
sysprobetmp = tempfile.gettempdir()
print ("Temp directory : -->" + sysprobetmp + "<--\n")
result = re.search("^/(tmp)|(var)|(usr)|(opt)|(home)", sysprobetmp)
try:
print ("Result : -->" + result.group(0) + "<--\n")
return ("posix")
except:
pass
result = re.search("^[A-Za-z]:", sysprobetmp)
try:
print ("Result : -->" + result.group(0) + "<--\n")
return ("windows")
except:
pass
Don't use a bare except, it'll catch _any_ exception.
If the regex matches, re.search will return a match object; if it
doesn't match, it'll return None.
In any case, +1 to Dan's answer.
