Windows and Macintosh
Comment
- Most of Python's OS interfaces are Unix-centric.
- However, much of this functionality is emulated on non-Unix platforms.
- With a number of omissions (especially in process and user management).
The msvcrt module
- Provides access to a number of functions in the Microsoft Visual C++ runtime.
- Functions to read and write characters.
- Some additional file handling (locking, modes, etc...).
- But not a substitute for PythonWin.
The macfs, macostools, and findertools modules
- Manipulation of files and applications on the Macintosh.
