`sys.platform` is the value that reflects how Python was compiled - `sys.platform == 'win32'` means compiled for Windows. And since this issue is related to compilation, it makes the most sense to use sys.

(`os.name` is also based on compilation, but it really only reflects the POSIX implementation in use, which is why sys is better.)
