[PYTHONMAC-SIG] Future stuff for the Alpha python mode

[Jack Jansen]

The AE support needed for Alpha could be added in a matter of minutes, but for 
one problem: I don't really have control over the Python event loop, and when 
you send the event the chances are 99.9% that Python will be waiting for 
keyboard input at the >>> prompt, somewhere deep inside the C library, and 
even though we could possibly receive the appleevent it would require 
longjumping out of the stdio code or something similarly horrible.

Replacing the sioux window and/or the current mess of event loops is pretty 
high on my to-do list, and supporting DoScript and such will then definitely 
be implemented. Until then Justs BBPy stuff will have to do.

But, of course, if anyone has code to contribute to make DoScript work with 
the current event loop I'll be more than happy to accept it:-)
