To use easyos in a script, simply call the relevant key:

if easyos['os'] == 'Darwin' and easyos['python_version'] == '3.4.2':
    print("Python3 on OS X.")

Abstract away the tedious bits of cross-platform coding:

with open (easyos['tmp_dir']+'/script', 'w') as log:
    message = "wow that's easy"
    log.write(message)

Make a pull request with your change or addition and I’ll merge it if nudges the module in the right direction.

As a non-Windows user, I’m unlikely to add more Windows attributes, but if you need something added, simply branch, make a pull request, and I’ll likely merge.
