[Pythonmac-SIG] newbie questions about Mac APIs in Python

Hi All,

Some of you may remember me from almost ten years ago -- I used to be  
quite active, and even contributed substantially to the MacPython IDE  
way back in the day.  Then I dropped out of the Python scene  
entirely.  Let's call that my "dark age," and call what's happening to  
that now being "over."  :)

So now I see that Python is installed on all Macs by default; this is  
cool.  However, where are the Mac modules?  Most of the references I  
find on the net point to dead links, or are woefully out of date.  <http://docs.python.org/library/ 
 > has only a few Mac-specific modules, and those are pretty meager --  
just dealing with files and such.  Where's the macspeech module, for  
example?  (I tried "import macspeech" just for a lark, but it didn't  
work.)

Thanks,
- Joe
