\begin{datadesc}{linkmodel}
The way the interpreter has been linked. As extension modules may be
incompatible between linking models, packages could use this information to give
more decent error messages. The value is one of \code{'static'} for a
statically linked Python, \code{'framework'} for Python in a Mac OS X framework,
\code{'shared'} for Python in a standard unix shared library and
\code{'cfm'} for the Mac OS 9-compatible Python.

Checks wether the current process has access to the window manager.
The method will return \code{False} if the window manager is not available,
for instance when running on Mac OS X Server or when logged in via ssh,
or when the current interpreter is not running from a fullblown application
bundle. A script runs from an application bundle either when it has been
started with \program{pythonw} in stead of \program{python} or when running
as an applet.
On Mac OS 9 the method always returns \code{True}.
