Pandora How to detect if your application is running on Pandora?

[ekianjo]

A very basic question, i guess, but I am developing a small application that is intended to work not only on Pandora and I'd like to add some specific instructions for the Pandora version. 

I am doing that application in Python, but I don't think it really matters what language I use, what I want to do is to find a way to identify, at runtime, whether the application is running on a Pandora or another GNU/Linux machine.

I guess I could detect the screen size and these kind of things, but that's not really failproof. ANy idea?

Thanks, will check that out. 

How about detecting a library that would only be on Pandora ? Like libpnd ?

The entire /proc/pandora directory should be Pandora-specific, naturally.
