Prevent mypy errors in platform dependent python code

I have something akin to the following piece of python code:

import platform
if platform.system() == "Windows":
    import winreg
    import win32api

def do_cross_platform_thing() -> None:
    if platform.system() == "Windows":
        # do some overly complicated windows specific thing with winreg and win32api
    else:
        # do something reasonable for everyone else

Now, on linux, mypy complains that

• it's missing imports because win32api doesn't exist,
• "module has no attribute ..." because the winreg module is defined, but basically disabled (all code is behind an 'is windows' check).

Is there any reasonable way to deal with this ? My current solution is

• spamming # type: ignore everywhere
• --ignore-missing-imports

Are there any better solutions for this?

Ok, after checking the Docs as @SUTerliakov so kindly suggested, it seems that i have to change my

if platform.system() == "Windows"

to this, semantically identical check:

if sys.platform == "win32"

Only this second version triggers some magic builtin mypy special case that identifies this as a platform check and ignores the branch not applicable to its plattform.
