# os.py -- either mac or posix depending on what system we're on. # This exports: # - all functions from either posix or mac, e.g., os.unlink, os.stat, etc. # - os.path is either module path or macpath # - os.name is either 'posix' or 'mac' # - os.curdir is a string representing the current directory ('.' or ':') # Programs that import and use 'os' stand a better chance of being # portable between different platforms. Of course, they must then # only use functions that are defined by all platforms (e.g., unlink # and opendir), and leave all pathname manipulation to os.path # (e.g., split and join). try: from posix import * name = 'posix' curdir = '.' import path except ImportError: from mac import * name = 'mac' curdir = ':' import macpath path = macpath del macpath
