[Pythonmac-SIG] MacPython post MacOS X...

[Joel Reed]

I am fairly new to Python and very new to "MacPython". With MacOSX
(client/server[client-based]) coming fairly soon what is this going to mean
for "MacPython"? If anything? My understanding of "MacPython" is that it is
a port of the standard Unix Python with additional Mac extensions (AE.
toolbox, etc.) Will Python on the Mac become "Standard Python" -> Unix (BSD
based) with "Python Mac extensions" -> Carbon/Classic based. Or will it be a
duplicate distribution Unix/BSD distro keeps to itself and MacPython keeps
to itself?

It seems with respect to some of the current threads on this list it would
be beneficial to have the standard stuff based in the Unix/BSD environment
and the Mac extensions carbon based, seeing as how Python complies pretty
much out of the box on the current MacOS X Server. It seems then this would
eliminate some of the CodeWarrior version headache.

Maybe this isn't really an issue and I missed a boat somewhere? I'm fairly
new to the list and I'm sorry if this issue has already been raised.
