# 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 posixpath or macpath # - os.name is either 'posix' or 'mac' # - os.curdir is a string representing the current directory ('.' or ':') # - os.pardir is a string representing the parent directory ('..' or '::') # - os.sep is the (or a most common) pathname separator ('/' 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). # XXX This will need to distinguish between real posix and MS-DOS emulation try: from posix import * from posix import _exit name = 'posix' curdir = '.' pardir = '..' sep = '/' import posixpath path = posixpath del posixpath except ImportError: from mac import * name = 'mac' curdir = ':' pardir = '::' sep = ':' import macpath path = macpath del macpath
