I have to execute some action if the server is CentOS.

CentOS 7.4 is OS version and Python 3.4.5
I could do it using shell, but I have been asked to use Python only, as the action to be performed based on the condition, if True or False, is already written in Python.
Please don't consider my objective is to print either CentOS or NOT CentOS, rather some other successfully written python code that I will be pasting in if or else section.
