Generic Operating System Services
*********************************

The modules described in this chapter provide interfaces to operating
system features that are available on (almost) all operating systems,
such as files and a clock.  The interfaces are generally modeled after
the UNIX or C interfaces, but they are available on most other systems
as well.  Here's an overview:

os

os.path

dircache

stat

statcache

statvfs

filecmp

popen2

time

sched

mutex

getpass

curses

curses.textpad

curses.wrapper

curses.ascii

curses.panel

getopt

tempfile

errno

glob

fnmatch

shutil

locale

gettext
