IDLE: use 'macOS' where appropriate. #79394
Comments
'maxOS' is Apple's current name for the Mac operating system. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacOS, Contents, Release History. The module name macosx.py is currently left as is. Within that, 'Mac OS X' is correct for 10.6 for 10.8. |
This issue is a spinoff of bpo-34864. |
@terry, I suppose you wanted to say "macOs" and not "maxOs" |
Whoops, 'macOS', as in the title and PR. |
;-) just a joke. I have reviewed your PR, but do you count with the occurences of "OS X", it's the abbreviation of "MacOS X"? |
The history of names for 10.X, from the reference above (which also has nicknames, like 'Mavericks' and 'Mohave', which I believe we do not use). 10.0 to 10.7: Mac OS X (space or spaces sometime left out, as in macosx) AFAIK, the current Mac installers support either 10.6+ or 10.9+. The macosx references to 'Mac OS X 10.6' and 'OS X 10.7 and 10.8' are properly not changed. 'OS X' in pyshell.py is removed in PR 10464. The most recent item in NEWS.txt using 'OS X' is for bpo-27310, June 2016, by Ned, who used 'OS X'. So no changes to NEWS.txt or NEWS2.txt. ** Ned ** Same issue with 'OS X Cocoa Tk 8.5' in editor.py. Editor.py also has "Some OS X systems have only one mouse button". It seems to me that 'Mac' would be a better replacement that 'macOS' as the mouse is part of the hardware system, not the OS software. |
The 4th line above should include 'macOS'. 10.14 to current 10.16: macOS (2016) |
Any more changes can be a future issue. |
