   3 Instead of importing this module directly, import os and refer to
   4 this module as os.path.  The "os.path" name is an alias for this
   5 module on Posix systems; on other systems (e.g. Mac, Windows),
   6 os.path provides the same operations in a manner specific to that
   7 platform, and is an alias to another module (e.g. macpath, ntpath).
   8
   9 Some of this can actually be useful on non-Posix systems too, e.g.
  10 for manipulation of the pathname component of URLs.
