I'm not sure about how to check for Maemo, per se, but if checking for a Hildon-based UI is sufficient (I don't know what your use-case is, so I'm just throwing it out there), there's some code in the init routines of Aarddict that you could lift. I'm not a Python coder myself, but I had to fiddle with that bit to get it to load the stock GTK UI on the N900, due to the fact that its Hildon routines were incompatible with the version in Maemo 5.
EDIT: I guess that wasn't what you're looking for, but I'll leave this here for reference, anyway.

This could help :

You could check for the hildon library.
Code:
try:
import hildon
except:
hildon = None
...
if (hildon):
print "On Maemo"
else:
print "Not on Maemo"

You could check for the existence of /proc/component_version. As a bonus, that file also contains the product code of the Maemo-running device.

As I pointed out, though, this checks for Hildon - not a specific Maemo device, or even Maemo itself. So if the OP is using platform/device-specific features, they'll need to do it some other way.

Or the most fail-safe way - use system call to grab the output from uname -a command. It will also give you the most data, too.

BTW: Hildon is available on e.g. Ubuntu as well, so just checking for hildon might not be enough evidence that you are really running on Maemo. qwerty12's solution of checking for /proc/component_version seems to be a more reliable check.

is there a quick way to check wether I am on Maemo from within python? I used:
if os.environ.has_key("OSSO_PRODUCT_NAME"):
But this does not seem to work anymore...
