This patch trims down the Python core on Darwin by making it
independent of CoreFoundation and CoreServices. It does this by:
Changed linker flags in configure/configure.in
Removed the unused PyMac_GetAppletScriptFile
Moved the implementation of PyMac_StrError to the MacOS module
Moved the implementation of PyMac_GetFullPathname to the
Carbon.File module
factory functions, so you can call quicktime functions that are implemented
as methods on NULL too.
Still don't allow quicktime functions to return NULL pointers, though: I
think this always signals an error condition.
a real subtype of Cm.ComponentInstance right now, it turns out that is
too difficult.
- OSA.OSAComponentInstance initializer does accept a Cm.ComponentInstance
instance, though, so at least things are becoming useable.
by request of Donovan Preston. In return, he promised to use this
to create a Python OSA component, which would turn Python
into a first-class OSA scripting language (like AppleScript itself).
