<p>This chapter describes modules that are only available on the Mac OS X platform.</p>

<div class="admonition note">
<p class="admonition-title">Note</p>
<p>Most of the OS X APIs that these modules use are deprecated or removed
in recent versions of OS X. Many are not available when Python is
executing in 64-bit mode. These modules have been removed in
Python 3. You should avoid using them in Python 2.</p>
