37. Mac OS X specific services
******************************

This chapter describes modules that are only available on the Mac OS X
platform.

See the chapters MacPython OSA Modules and Undocumented Mac OS modules
for more modules, and the HOWTO Utilisation de Python sur un Macintosh
for a general introduction to Mac-specific Python programming.

Note: Most of the OS X APIs that these modules use are deprecated or
  removed in recent versions of OS X.  Many are not available when
  Python is executing in 64-bit mode.  These modules have been removed
  in Python 3.  You should avoid using them in Python 2.
