Python's platform-limited libraries

In sections 34 and 35 of Python's standard library documentation (https://docs.python.org/3/library/index.html), you'll find a list of libraries available only on Windows or Unix-like systems, respectively. Careful reading of the documentation shows that there are a couple more platform-limited libraries listed in other sections as well.

Following is a list of the more common platform-limited libraries you may encounter:
