I'm using MacPython 2.2.1, and Carbon.CG only appears to have 2 methods,
CGContextRefType and CreateCGContextForPort.  Are things like CGContextRotateCTM
and CGContextAddLines supported somewhere yet?

Also, I didn't see a CoreGraphics demo running around.  If you have some code
that
excercises these routines, I'd appreciate the example.

thanks,
eric
