I just found a few extension modules that define their own types, like SocketType. I'd like to see those converted. I don't know if I have time.

At what point can we consider the API stable? All this inheriting and subtyping seems like it would be absolutely brilliant for the Mac toolbox APIs (and I suspect also for the PythonWin API's, Mark?) but I've refrained from even looking at it (well, I did have a quick peek:-), because (a) I have no time, (b) I don't want to chase a changing API and (c) there's some methodchain-based poor-mans-inheritance in there already that will undoubtedly break.
