Ronald Oussoren added the comment: The issue still is present, wouldn't it be better to just remove the availability annotation from the docs (2.7, 3.4 and trunk) while waiting for a better solution? That would at least remove confusion for these docs. At the very least the "Macintosh" avail

R. David Murray added the comment: I think you are correct that the Availability can be removed, since the actual limits of the support are exactly as complicated as the code that supports them, and should give *some* result on most (all?) platforms. However, OS/X is certainly covered by the

New submission from Bryce Verdier : In the docs for getpass: http://docs.python.org/release/2.6.6/library/getpass.html (as an example). It hints that getuser() doesn't work on OSX. I tried this out and it works fine for python 2.6 on 10.6. I have included a patch for this. I believe the cleane
