What does the "de-Macification" in Python 3.0 mean? Will the Carbon
modules be removed?

I've found the answer to my own question:

Yuk. Looks like I will have to remove the Carbon bits from my app at
some point!


Or just do what I did with appscript: fork off the bits you need and
update them yourself.

I'd prefer if we'd  move the interesting bits of the Carbon bindings to
their own package(s). One of the nice things of the current Carbon bindings is that a large portion of the API is just there and you probably don't have
to write C code when you want to use an API.

Sadly enough that's only true of API's that were present in OS9, but the
idea stands: it would be nice to have complete bindings to the bits of
Carbon that still make sense. IMHO that would exclude all GUI-related
code, but I'm a bit biased ;-)
