The only problem with using this in this situation is that Windows can also 
run x11 with cygmin or xming. So checking the OS version is not a great way. I 
did look earlier when this post was finished, but the basic python lib, 
platform, os, sys, sysconfig (maybe something in tkinter might) didn't show an 
obvious answer to this (also maybe sysconfig.get_config_vars() might).  

I think Pete's solution is the best solution for this.
