+# this module is an OS/2 oriented replacement for the grp standard
+# extension module.
+
+# written by Andrew MacIntyre, April 2001.
+# released into the public domain "as is", with NO WARRANTY
+
+# note that this implementation checks whether ":" or ";" as used as
+# the field separator character.
+
+"""Replacement for grp standard extension module, intended for use on
+OS/2 and similar systems which don't normally have an /etc/group file.
+
+The standard Unix group database is an ASCII text file with 4 fields per
+record (line), separated by a colon:
+ - group name (string)
+ - group password (optional encrypted string)
+ - group id (integer)
+ - group members (comma delimited list of userids, with no spaces)
+
+Note that members are only included in the group file for groups that
+aren't their primary groups.
+(see the section 8.2 of the Python Library Reference)
+
+This implementation differs from the standard Unix implementation by
+allowing use of the platform's native path separator character - ';' on OS/2,
+DOS and MS-Windows - as the field separator in addition to the Unix
+standard ":".
+
+The module looks for the group database at the following locations
+(in order first to last):
+ - ${ETC_GROUP} (or %ETC_GROUP%)
+ - ${ETC}/group (or %ETC%/group)
+ - ${PYTHONHOME}/Etc/group (or %PYTHONHOME%/Etc/group)
+
+Classes

+Functions
+---------
+
+getgrgid(gid) - return the record for group-id gid as a 4-tuple

+getgrnam(name) - return the record for group 'name' as a 4-tuple
+
+getgrall() - return a list of 4-tuples, each tuple being one record
+ (NOTE: the order is arbitrary)
+
+Attributes
+----------
+
+group_file - the path of the group database file
