Python is relatively carbon-ready. Because most modules are generated from the 
header files they're all well-behaved (mostly). The two issues that I found

that should be easy to fix) and the Standard File dialogs. If someone wants to 
write a Navigation Services module I would be very grateful, I definitely want 
one soon, but I'm a bit stuck for time.

Another question is how the integration between the unix and the macos api's 
will be...
