| 9 | This module provides access to MacOS specific functionality in the
|
|---|
| 10 | Python interpreter, such as how the interpreter eventloop functions
|
|---|
| 11 | and the like. Use with care.

| 16 | \begin{datadesc}{runtimemodel}
|

| 17 | Always \code{'macho'}, from Python 2.4 on.
|
|---|
| 18 | In earlier versions of Python the value could
|
|---|
| 19 | also be \code{'ppc'} for the classic Mac OS 8 runtime model or
|
|---|
| 20 | \code{'carbon'} for the Mac OS 9 runtime model.

| 23 | \begin{datadesc}{linkmodel}
|
|---|
| 24 | The way the interpreter has been linked. As extension modules may be
|
|---|
| 25 | incompatible between linking models, packages could use this information to give
|
|---|
| 26 | more decent error messages. The value is one of \code{'static'} for a
|
|---|
| 27 | statically linked Python, \code{'framework'} for Python in a Mac OS X framework,
|
|---|
| 28 | \code{'shared'} for Python in a standard \UNIX{} shared library.
|
|---|
| 29 | Older Pythons could also have the value
