+ This is a small Python module that determines and returns standardized
+ names for platforms, where the "standard" is Trent Mick's reasoning :)
+ from experience building ActivePython on a fairly large number of
+ platforms.
+
+ The driving goal is to provide platform names that are:
+ - relatively short
+ - readable (as much as possible making matching the given name to an
+ actually machine self-explanatory)
+ - be capable enough to produce all names needed to distinguish all
+ platform-specific application builds
+ - generally safe for usage in filenames
+ - not ugly (e.g. "MSWin32" is ugly)
