Is there a Python2 module that has more accurate Windows OS information than the sys module?

Question

The following code will generate different values, on the same Windows 10 OS, based on what version of python you are using:

import sys
info = sys.getwindowsversion()
major = info.major

On a Windows 10 machine, in python2: major == 6 (which is not the correct value)

On a Windows 10 machine, in python3: major == 10 (the correct value)

I'm in the unfortunate position of needing to use python2 here, but the values it is returning are not accurate. Is there a module, available in python2, that will give me the accurate values for windows version information?

Answer 1

Python 2:

>>> platform.platform()
'Windows-10-10.0.17134'

Python 3:

>>> platform.platform()
'Windows-10-10.0.17134-SP0'

Besides that, unlike sys.getwindowsversion, you can also run this on Linux:

>>> platform.platform()
'Linux-5.4.0-51-generic-x86_64-with-glibc2.29'

There is also platform.version() which gives you just the version without the OS name.
