[Python-Dev] deprecating macpath and macurl2path (original) (raw)

PEP 11 notes that Mac OS 9 support was unsupported in 2.4. There are still quite a few places that we check for sys.platform == 'mac'. There are also (at least) 2 modules (macpath and macurl2path) that look specific to Mac OS. (OS X has sys.platform == 'darwin'.)

Shall I add a deprecation warning on import to these modules or remove them?

I plan to remove other mac specific code (checking sys.platform) in the stdlib unless someone beat me to it.
