Is Python Mac Centric???

[hokieghal99]

While trying to learn more about Python's standard modules, I noticed 
that there are *a lot* of Mac only modules... more so than Unix and 
Windows specific modules combined. Is there a reason for this? I am 
familiar with the Windows extensions by Mr. Hammond and wonder if 
they'll ever become apart of the official Python distribution. It looks 
as if something similar already exists for Macs with all these Mac only 
modules. Why is this?

Also, I've noticed that OSX 10.3 comes with Python 2.3 installed, but 
that Windows XP does not. Python installation is much more cumbersome on 
Windows. The user has to dl Python and then Mr. Hammond's extensions to 
get up to speed with the new Macs out of the box. Does Python play 
favorites? I think it would have a much larger user base if Windows user 
got what mac users get.

Could someone explain this to me? I don't mean this to start a platform 
war as I'm really agnostic on the matter. Just curious.

Thanks!!!
