New submission from Kevin Grant <k...@mac.com>:
Running "pydoc -k ..." with a query string will end with a Python
AttributeError while looking for Carbon.File.FSSpecType.
I was using /usr/bin/pydoc on Mac OS X Snow Leopard, which is from Python 2.6.1.
It appears that any query will produce a similar error, but here is one case:
% pydoc -k example
xxsubtype - xxsubtype is an example module showing how to subtype builtin
types from C.
doctest - Module doctest -- a framework for running examples in docstrings.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/pydoc2.6", line 7, in <module>

FSSType = Carbon.File.FSSpecType
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'FSSpecType'
A solution would appear to be as follows:
Since Carbon.File no longer defines FSSpecType, perhaps aepack.py should no
longer support it. This would require removing
the definition from aepack.py:61, as well as the case in the pack() routine (at
aepack.py:88-89) that uses FSSType.
