XXX write this
XXX OS/2 EMX port
Support for a port to IBM's OS/2 using the EMX runtime environment was
merged into the main Python source tree. EMX is a POSIX emulation
layer over the OS/2 system APIs. The Python port for EMX tries to
support all the POSIX-like capability exposed by the EMX runtime, and
mostly succeeds;
\function
{
fork()
}
and
\function
{
fcntl()
}
are
restricted by the limitations of the underlying emulation layer. The
standard OS/2 port, which uses IBM's Visual Age compiler, also gained
support for case-sensitive import semantics as part of the integration
of the EMX port into CVS. (Contributed by Andrew MacIntyre.)
On MacOS, most toolbox modules have been weaklinked to improve
backward compatibility. This means that modules will no longer fail
to load if a single routine is missing on the curent OS version.
Instead calling the missing routine will raise an exception.
