It shouldn't be hard to simply wrap a Cocoa EasyDialogs implementation
in C to construct a traditional Python module, but it make ssense to
wait and see how much of Carbon is no longer going to be supported in
64-bit on Leopard (probably the WWDC attendees find out today but it's
NDA'd).  Cocoa doesn't have a generic API that matches that of
EasyDialogs as much as Carbon does.

The WWDC attendees (me included) already know but as you say that info
is under NDA ;-).

But luckily the situation is explained on a mailinglist:

http://lists.apple.com/archives/Carbon-dev/2007/Jun/msg00260.html

The summary: no 64-bit Carbon GUI libraries. I haven't even tried to compile Python's Carbon wrapper in 64-bit mode, I'd be surprised if they compiled cleanly because Apple has done some serious spring- cleaning in 64-bit mode.
