-\section{Standard Module \module{macostools}}
-\label{module-macostools}
-\stmodindex{macostools}
-
-This module contains some convenience routines for file-manipulation
-on the Macintosh.
-
-The \module{macostools} module defines the following functions:
-
-
-\begin{funcdesc}{copy}{src, dst\optional{, createpath\optional{, copytimes}}}
-Copy file \var{src} to \var{dst}. The files can be specified as
-pathnames or \pytype{FSSpec} objects. If \var{createpath} is non-zero
-\var{dst} must be a pathname and the folders leading to the
-destination are created if necessary. The method copies data and
-resource fork and some finder information (creator, type, flags) and
-optionally the creation, modification and backup times (default is to
-copy them). Custom icons, comments and icon position are not copied.
-
-If the source is an alias the original to which the alias points is
-copied, not the aliasfile.
-\end{funcdesc}
-
-\begin{funcdesc}{copytree}{src, dst}
-Recursively copy a file tree from \var{src} to \var{dst}, creating
-folders as needed. \var{src} and \var{dst} should be specified as
-pathnames.
-\end{funcdesc}
-
-\begin{funcdesc}{mkalias}{src, dst}
-Create a finder alias \var{dst} pointing to \var{src}. Both may be
-specified as pathnames or \pytype{FSSpec} objects.
-\end{funcdesc}
-
-\begin{funcdesc}{touched}{dst}
-Tell the finder that some bits of finder-information such as creator
-or type for file \var{dst} has changed. The file can be specified by
-pathname or fsspec. This call should prod the finder into redrawing the
-files icon.
-\end{funcdesc}
-
-\begin{datadesc}{BUFSIZ}
-The buffer size for \code{copy}, default 1 megabyte.
-\end{datadesc}
-
-Note that the process of creating finder aliases is not specified in
-the Apple documentation. Hence, aliases created with \function{mkalias()}
-could conceivably have incompatible behaviour in some cases.
-
-\section{Standard Module \module{findertools}}
-\label{module-findertools}
-\stmodindex{findertools}
-
-This module contains routines that give Python programs access to some
-functionality provided by the finder. They are implemented as wrappers
-around the AppleEvent\index{AppleEvents} interface to the finder.
-
-All file and folder parameters can be specified either as full
-pathnames or as \pytype{FSSpec} objects.
-
-The \module{findertools} module defines the following functions:
-
-
-\begin{funcdesc}{launch}{file}
-Tell the finder to launch \var{file}. What launching means depends on the file:
-applications are started, folders are opened and documents are opened
-in the correct application.
-\end{funcdesc}
-
-\begin{funcdesc}{Print}{file}
-Tell the finder to print a file (again specified by full pathname or
-\pytype{FSSpec}). The behaviour is identical to selecting the file and using
-the print command in the finder.
-\end{funcdesc}
-
-\begin{funcdesc}{copy}{file, destdir}
-Tell the finder to copy a file or folder \var{file} to folder
-\var{destdir}. The function returns an \pytype{Alias} object pointing to
-the new file.
-\end{funcdesc}
-
-\begin{funcdesc}{move}{file, destdir}
-Tell the finder to move a file or folder \var{file} to folder
-\var{destdir}. The function returns an \pytype{Alias} object pointing to
-the new file.
-\end{funcdesc}
-
-\begin{funcdesc}{sleep}{}
-Tell the finder to put the Macintosh to sleep, if your machine
-supports it.
-\end{funcdesc}
-
-\begin{funcdesc}{restart}{}
-Tell the finder to perform an orderly restart of the machine.
-\end{funcdesc}
-
-\begin{funcdesc}{shutdown}{}
-Tell the finder to perform an orderly shutdown of the machine.
-\end{funcdesc}
