class Generic:
  def foo(self):
    pass

class Unix(Generic):
  def foo(self):
    #do something unixy

class Windows(Generic):
  def foo(self):
    #do something windowsish

if os.platfom == 'windows':
  helper = Windows()
elif os.platform == 'posix':
  helper = Unix()
else
  helper = Generic()

helper.foo()
#and 50 more instances
