[issue9850] obsolete macpath module dangerously broken and should be removed

[Ronald Oussoren]

Ronald Oussoren <ronaldoussoren at mac.com> added the comment:

MacOS9 is already unsupported, except for macpath all traces of OS9 support are gone with the possible exception of distutils (I removed traces of OS9 support code in 3.2 and those got restored when Tarek replaced distutils by the version from the 3.1 branch, I don't remember if I redid my OS9-removal work).

As I wrote earlier the path manipulation code (macpath.join, macpath.split etc.) are still useful because OS9-style paths are still used in some parts of OSX.
