these removed modules?
Thanks.

Nothing did, really. Those modules are legacy ones dating back to the
days of OS 9, and were automatically generated from the Carbon
framework's headers by a tool (bgen) that few understood a decade ago
and no one understands today. Many of the functions are not 64-bit, and
untangling that would be a nightmare.
There are various ways to get at the functionality that these modules
offered: use PyObjC; use other functions from the standard library,
since these functions pre-date OS X running on top of Unix; or, if you
are really in need of specific functionality offered by one of the
Carbon modules, code your own C wrapper library or use Ctypes.
