+ r"""OS routines for Mac, DOS, NT, or Posix depending on what system we're on.
+ 
+ This exports:
+   - all functions from posix, nt, dos, os2, mac, or ce, e.g. unlink, stat, etc.
+   - os.path is one of the modules posixpath, ntpath, macpath, or dospath
+   - os.name is 'posix', 'nt', 'dos', 'os2', 'mac', 'ce' or 'riscos'
+   - os.curdir is a string representing the current directory ('.' or ':')
+   - os.pardir is a string representing the parent directory ('..' or '::')
+   - os.sep is the (or a most common) pathname separator ('/' or ':' or '\\')
+   - os.altsep is the alternate pathname separator (None or '/')
+   - os.pathsep is the component separator used in $PATH etc
+   - os.linesep is the line separator in text files ('\r' or '\n' or '\r\n')
+   - os.defpath is the default search path for executables
+ 
+ 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).
