------
If this is your first encounter with Python: you definitely need the
classic PPC, and they are normal classic modules. Also note that some
modules you may think of as toolbox modules (such as Waste) really are not,
and they are not in the Carbon package.

-Some open issues I would like to discuss on the PythonMac-SIG, please join
-in if you have views on the matter:
-- Is this all a good idea?
-- Some modules are not in the Carbon package (icglue, for instance, or
- supporting module such as aetools and aepack) and maybe they should be,
- some are (ControlAccessors) which arguably should not. Opinions are welcome.
-- I'm tempted to put Qt and QuickTime into their own package, especially
- since I'm also working on porting it to Windows. It would also be in line
- with Apple's organization. Opinions?
-- Should we get rid of the Res/Resource dichotomy, where the first is the
- extension module and the second is the Python module with the constants?
- We could simply import the extension module functionality into the Python
- module, at the expense of a rather large namespace.
-- Should we have a Carbon.Carbon module that simply imports the whole world,
- so that "from Carbon.Carbon import *" is pretty much equivalent to the C
- #include <Carbon/Carbon.h>?
-- Should we put all the other Mac modules into a Mac package? This will make
- MacPython programs a lot more verbose, but that is a good thing too if people
- try to port Mac Python scripts to other platforms.
- Should the Carbon package then be a sub-package of the Mac package?
Another change related to the OSX growth path is that there is a new module
macresource that you can use to easily open a resource file accompanying your

- The main change is that all toolbox modules have moved to a package called Carbon.
So things like "import Res" should be changed to "from Carbon import Res", and
"from Res import *" to "from Carbon.Res import *". Please see the readme file for
some open questions and join the discussions on pythonmac-sig if you have anything
to contribute. Aside from reducing clutter this change will also benefit the
