Mac-specific modules
////////////////////
Thanks to both Apple including Python with OS X and PyObjC_,
the included Mac modules in Python are obsolete.
Apple's Cocoa API will always be more up-to-date than Python's own
attempt at maintaining wrappers. Plus Apple can be expected to
include useful Mac-only modules that third-parties do not provide.
The Mac-specific modules are mostly unmaintained (e.g., the bgen
tool used to auto-generate many of the modules has never been
updated to support UCS-4). It is also not Python's place to maintain
such a large amount of OS-specific modules. For modules that provide
a small amount of focused functionality (e.g., _winreg), that can be
considered reasonable.
