+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.
