A platform weighing machine means a weighing instrument with compound levers and with the goods receptacles generally in the form of a platform. 1.1.1: Platform weighing machines may be of the following capacities. 10kg, 20kg, 50kg, 100kg, 250kg, 300kg, 500kg, 1000kg, 2000kg, 3000kg, and 5000kg.
uname() This function returns a tuple that stores information regarding the system. Basically this function can be used to replace the individual functions to retrieve information about the system, node, release, version, machine, version and processor.
The platform module in python provides functions that access information of the underlying platform (operating system). The platform. system() method is used to return the underlying operating system name.
The platform module includes the tools for learning about the interpreter, operating system, and hardware platform where a program is running. The example output below was generated on a MacBook Pro3,1 running OS X 10.6.
On platforms with os.uname(), this information comes directly from the result of that API call. That is to say, platform.machine() returns the same thing as the uname -m command.
Thus, the answer really depends on the kernel's implementation of the uname(2) system call. For that, see this question and answer:
Possible values for `uname -m` (utsname.machine)
