wow! is it really that long? But yes, I remember you. Didn't you work on 
a plotting package, too?

If you mean the Mac-specific stuff, most of that is pretty well 
deprecated, though I think some of it lives on in the Carbon library:

import Carbon

However, OS-X really is a very different (and better) beast than the old 
MacOS, so I think you're better off using PyObjC to do Cocoa stuff, or 
sticking with Cross-platform libraries like wxPython.

Welcome back,
