How did you change platform? That module uses gestalt to calculate the osx platform version and architecture.
It looks like Benjamin didn't change it. The unit tests still passed, though, possibly because platform.mac_ver() has a fallback if the gestalt import failed.
I will create an issue to add back in gestalt. What about that little module for urllib to get proxy info? How is that coming along? Question: Are we going to leave gestalt in plat-mac/ or move it to plat-darwin/ ?
Well, if we stick with the C version, it should just go into Modules.
It was in Mac/Modules/ and I had a look yesterday at getting it back in there, but the Mac build system looked to complicated to touch (esp. since gestalt is built as part of the Carbon lib stuff). Someone else with more knowledge about the Mac build will have to give it a go.
This basically maps to the question whether Py3k will still support Mac OS 9 or not.
Mac OS 9 support was removed at least a version ago.
So lib-mac/ can basically stay gone or at least the modules still needed from there should be moved/revived to lib-darwin/. -- Marc-Andre Lemburg eGenix.com Professional Python Services directly from the Source (#1, May 16 2008)
