On Windows 8.1, win32_ver() returns a Windows 8 version number:

C:\>\Python27\python.exe
Python 2.7.5 (default, May 15 2013, 22:43:36) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import platform
>>> platform.win32_ver()
('8', '6.2.9200', '', 'Multiprocessor Free')
>>> quit()

C:\>ver
