The platform module has a way to map system names such as returned by uname() to marketing names. It maps SunOS to Solaris, for example. But it doesn't map Darwin to Mac OS X. I think I know how to map Darwin version numbers to OS X version numbers: from http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/ it is clear that OS X 10.a.b corresponds to Darwin (a+4).b, except for OS X versions <= 10.1. I'd be happy to write the code and add it to system_alias() in platform.py. Is this a good idea?
