[Pythonmac-SIG] MacPython 2.3 - Carbon only?

[Jack Jansen]

Folks,
I'm toying with the idea of making MacPython 2.3 Carbon-only, as this
would save a lot of development effort. And there are a lot of things
I'd like to do, for one thing I would like all our MacPython goodies
to run natively in MachoPython by the time 2.3 is released.

There are two drawbacks to this plan:
1. MacPython wouldn't run on 8.5 anymore (for 8.1 MacPython 2.2 is the
last release anyway), and on 8.6 you would need to manually install
CarbonLib.
2. Tkinter is going to be a problem, but I think it is a solvable
problem (it is possible to load InterfaceLib-based code into a
CarbonLib-based main program).

What do people think?
