Summary: plat-mac/applesingle.py needs cosmetic changes

Initial Comment:
1)  it uses a string exception

2)  it has a warning every time you use it:

/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/lib/

python2.3/plat-mac/applesingle.py:40: FutureWarning: %u/

%o/%x/%X of negative int will return a signed string in 

Python 2.4 and up

3) its decode function overloads __builtin__ names (input, 

id) and uses type(input) == type('') when it really means: 

isinstance(input, basestring).. or maybe even better: not 

hasattr(input, 'read')

4) it can be useful on platforms other than MacOS (bub-n-

bob uses it for example)



Attached is a revamped and backwards compatible version.
