title: How to distinguish "Android" from other "Linux" operating systems in Python?
body: <p>I'm running a Python script on my phone through QPython. The title pretty much explains the question. I basically need to check if the script is running on an android device. I've tried <code>os.name</code>, <code>sys.platform</code> and <code>platform.system()</code> but those just return various kinds of "Linux" or "Posix", which is not specific enough (as far as I know - maybe I am missing some relevant information here).</p>
  
  <p>I considered trying to import the <code>android</code> module, and then use the success or failure of this to determine if the OS is Android. I don't really need the <code>android</code> module though, so this seems a bit excessive.</p>
