+# 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).
