Distutils in the py3k trunk was reverted to the version in the 31-maint branch a couple of weeks back.

This reintroduced some macos9 support code that was removed in the trunk but not the maint branches.

All code reverting to sys.platform == 'mac' should be removed again.

Fixed in r86248, thanks.  BTW, my commit removes a bit more than yours originally did.

In 2.7, the unused distutils.sysconfig._init_mac function is still left over.  I don’t know if killing dead code is acceptable in a stable version.  Benjamin?

On python-dev, Martin commented that if it was unnecessary to remove an unused function in 2.7, then I shouldn’t have done it.  I agreed, planned to revert that removal, however unlikely it was that someone depended on it, and then I couldn’t make up my mind in the middle of diverging opinions that followed.  I missed the 3.1.3 release deadline, so the change is out there now.  I’m going to leave 2.7 as it is, and at the first complaint about broken third-party code I’ll revert the removal.
