Summary

pyosal is an Operating System Abstraction Layer written in Python. It contains various functions help write cross-platform python code.

see doc/pyosal_api.md or the website above for more information about these functions.

Over time, I will be searching through my projects looking for code like:

if  pyosal.os_name == 'ubuntu':
    do_some_thing_ubu()
elif  pyosal.os_name == 'msys2':
    do_some_thing_msys2()

It might be possible that do_some_thing() is a viable OSAL function to be added to pyosal.
