Python 3.8+Windowsplatformfunction

platform.win32_edition()

specific operating systems

The Windows edition as a string ('Professional', 'Enterprise', 'ServerStandard'…) or None, including on other OSes.

Syntax

platform.win32_edition()

Unlike win32_ver(), it returns None rather than an empty string on failure, so platform.win32_edition().lower() crashes with AttributeError on Linux. The value comes from the registry and uses internal names: Windows Home is reported as 'Core', not 'Home'.

Examples

import platform
edition = platform.win32_edition()
print(edition)  # → ? на Windows, например Professional; на других ОС None
print(edition is None or isinstance(edition, str))  # → True
