The functions for creating and reading resources are in Carbon.Res, the 
functions
for creating a file with a resource fork are in Carbon.File (there are 
file creation
functions in Carbon.Res too, but they are older, and you may have 
problems with long file
names or so). These all pretty much follow the Apple documentation 
(except that they're methods on objects where applicable, in stead of 
functions taking the objects as first argument).

macostools.py has some examples, and (if you have a source 
distribution) more can be found in Mac/Lib/ and Mac/Demo/PICTbrowse and 
various other places in Mac/Demo.
