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 availability note should be removed, that was used to document that 
a function is available on MacOS 9, which hasn't been supported in a long time 
now.

R. David Murray rdmur...@bitdance.com added the comment:

It requires adding code to support a new Sphinx directive.  I'm not sure if it 
should be a generic Sphinx directive (in which case we should open an issue on 
the Sphinx bug tracker) or Python specific.  If the latter, I can't at the 
moment tell you where the python-specific Sphinx code lives, but someone will 
know.

I like the idea as well. But I'm not sure what is needed in order to help.

Yes, it’s unclear whether Unix in the docs included Mac OS X or not.

Well, let's make it clear then.  What about replacing the text-only 
Availability with a directive that renders into a link that displays what the 
individual values mean?

Only because we had Macintosh in there.  We don't mention OS/X explicitly 
anywhere else in the docs that I could find (except one prose mention in the 
logging docs).

Georg: our post seem to have crossed despite Roundup's attempts at locking.  +1 
to your idea about the directive.

[issue12243] getpass.getuser works on OSX

[Bryce Verdier]

New submission from Bryce Verdier bryceverd...@gmail.com:

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 cleanest way to handle this is 
to remove the Availability entry as it's no longer necessary.

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray rdmur...@bitdance.com 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 current one, since OS/X is a unix flavor.  At this 
point in time it might be worth doing a sweep through the docs to remove all 
occurrences of 'Macintosh', since we don't support OS/9 any more.  There look 
to be less than a dozen such references in the Python3 docs.

I'm adding Gregory to nosy to see if he thinks it is appropriate to remove the 
'availability' entirely, since he implemented the fallback.
