Hi,

In the discussion of a feature request for MacPython[1], the OP (hhas) said: As of Python 2.6/3.0, all Mac-specific modules are deprecated/eliminated from the standard library and there are no longer any plans to submit appscript for possible inclusion. This issue should be rejected and closed. [...] So, if someone could reassure / clarify the rules for closing these in general and/or take a quick look at specific issues, that would be a great help. The Carbon bindings in 2.6 are deprecated and I don't intend to work on fixing them, and would advise against trying to fix issues with these modules unless you're personally affected by them.

OK.

[1] http://bugs.python.org/issue916013 Should have been closed ages ago. [snip] http://bugs.python.org/issue776533 Carbon.Snd module SPB constructor shadowed Closed as fixed (after reapplying the patch on the trunk) [...] http://bugs.python.org/issue779285 Carbon Event ReceiveNextEvent Left this open for now, I have to have a better look at the actual code to check if it is worthwhile to keep this issue open.

Wow, thanks a lot for taking care of all these issues! If you need a hand to close, assign or just update any of them, I'd be glad to help. I'll put any closing of these on hold until you're done, I have no hurry :)

http://bugs.python.org/issue779153 bgen requires Universal Headers, not OS X dev headers Should be closed, I'm not planning on recreating the Carbon bindings.

OK, I'll add a 'will close unless someone who needs this comes forward' note on this one, but will leave it open for a while as it might help in wrapping code.

http://bugs.python.org/issue602291 Bgen should learn about booleans This one is not related to OSX, appearently at least some people actually use Bgen for creating wrapper code.

Thanks, will update it and leave open.

http://bugs.python.org/issue775321 plistlib error handling

http://bugs.python.org/issue985064 plistlib crashes too easily on bad files Plistlib is in the generic standard library in 2.6 and 3.0. I haven't checked yet if these issues are relevant at this point in time.

They are not, I'll work on tests/patches for them.

Thanks for handling these and for the valuable feedback, Ronald!

Daniel
