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