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.
I don't know if anyone uses macpath for it, but OS9-style paths are still used in a number of APIs on OSX.
macurl2path seems OS9 specific.
