Thanks again for your tireless (or at least apparently tireless) maintenance,
Ronald!

One thing I wondered about when I saw "carbon" here is that I wonder if the
APIs that could make
https://pythonhosted.org/pyobjc/examples/Cocoa/AppKit/HotKeyPython/index.html
<https://pythonhosted.org/pyobjc/examples/Cocoa/AppKit/HotKeyPython/index.html>
are exposed again? The cautions that the relevant Carbon APIs require 32-bit
mode are inaccurate;

<https://blog.shpakovski.com/2012/07/global-keyboard-shortcuts-in-cocoa.html>
explains that they're still supported in sandboxed Mac App Store apps, so
they're just poorly documented, not deprecated. (It seems that there's never
been a proper Cocoa replacement for this functionality, just a couple of
popular wrappers floating around out there...)
This is something I have wanted to do in Python many times, but never quite
badly enough to figure out all the build gymnastics required to get the
bindings for https://github.com/shpakovski/MASShortcut
<https://github.com/shpakovski/MASShortcut> built and bundled with my
application.

P.S.: speaking of build gymnastics, does anyone on this list happen to have a
way to use CocoaPods or something similar to pull in open source Cocoa
frameworks to a PyObjC application?
