Description: macholib can be used to analyze and edit Mach-O headers, the executable
        format used by Mac OS X.
        
        It's typically used as a dependency analysis tool, and also to rewrite dylib
        references in Mach-O headers to be @executable_path relative.
        
        Though this tool targets a platform specific file format, it is pure python
        code that is platform and endian independent.
        
        
        Release history
        ===============
        
        macholib 1.4.3
        --------------
        
        macholib 1.4.3 is a minor feature release
        
        * Added strings for 'x86_64' and 'ppc64' to
          macholib.mach_o.CPU_TYPE_NAMES.
        
        * macho_find and macho_dump were broken in the 1.4.2 release
        
        * added 'macholib.util.NOT_SYSTEM_FILES', a list of
          files that aren't system path's even though they are
          located in system locations.
        
          Needed to work around a bug in PySide (see issue #32 in the
          py2app tracker)
         
        
        
        macholib 1.4.2
        --------------
        
        macholib 1.4.2 is a minor bugfix release
        
        * The support for new load commands that was added in 1.4.1 
          contained a typo that caused problems on OSX 10.7 (Lion).
        
        macholib 1.4.1
        --------------
        
        macholib 1.4.1 is a minor feature release
        
        Features:
        
        - Add support for a number of new MachO load commands that were added
          during the lifetime of OSX 10.6: ``LC_LOAD_UPWARD_DYLIB``,
          ``LC_VERSION_MIN_MACOSX``, ``LC_VERSION_MIN_IPHONEOS`` and
          ``LC_FUNCTION_STARTS``.
        
        macholib 1.4
        -------------
        
        macholib 1.4 is a feature release
        
        Features:
        
        - Documentation is now generated using `sphinx <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/sphinx>`_
          and can be viewed at <http://packages.python.org/macholib>.
        
        - The repository has moved to bitbucket
        
        - There now is a testsuite
        
        - Private functionality inside modules was renamed to
          a name starting with an underscore. 
        
          .. note:: if this change affects your code you are relying on undefined
             implementation features, please stop using private functions.
        
        - The basic packable types in ``macholib.ptypes`` were renamed to better
          represent the corresponding C type. The table below lists the old
          an new names (the old names are still available, but are deprecated and
          will be removed in a future release).
        
          +--------------+--------------+
          | **Old name** | **New name** |
          +==============+==============+
          | p_byte       | p_int8       |
          +--------------+--------------+
          | p_ubyte      | p_uint8      |

          +--------------+--------------+
        
          ``Macholib.ptypes.p_ptr`` is no longer present as it had an unclear 
          definition and isn't actually used in the codebase.
        
        
        Bug fixes:
        
        - The semantics of ``dyld.dyld_default_search`` were changed a bit,
          it now first searches the framework path (if appropriate) and then
          the linker path, irrespective of the value of the ``DYLD_FALLBACK*``
          environment variables.
          
          Previous versions would change the search order when those variables
          was set, which is odd and doesn't correspond with the documented
          behaviour of the system dyld.
        
        - It is once again possible to install using python2.5
        
        - The source distribution includes all files, this was broken
          due to the switch to mercurial (which confused setuptools)
        
        macholib 1.3
        ------------
        
        macholib 1.3 is a feature release.
        
        Features:
        
        - Experimental Python 3.x support
        
          This version contains lightly tested support for Python 3.
        
        macholib 1.2.2
        --------------
        
        macholib 1.2.2 is a bugfix release.
        
        Bug fixes:
        
        - Macholib should work better with 64-bit code
          (patch by Marc-Antoine Parent)
