Open Stack

Dims has just raised[1] the excellent concern that oslo.privsep will need
to at least survive on Windows, because hyper-v.  I have no real experience
coding on windows (I wrote a windows C program once, but I only ever ran it
under wine ;) and certainly none within an OpenStack/python context:

1) How can I test whatever I'm working on to see if I have mistakenly
introduced something Linux-specific?  Surely this is a challenge common
across every project in the nova/oslo/hyper-v stack.

2) What predicate should I use to guard the inevitable Linux-specific or
Windows-specific code branches?

and I guess:
3) What does a typical OpenStack/hyper-v install even look like? Do we run
rootwrap with some sudo-like-thing, or just run everything as the superuser?
What _should_ oslo.privsep do for this environment?
