[Pythonmac-SIG] MacPython 2.3 - Carbon only?

[Samuel Smith]

>Folks,

>to run natively in MachoPython by the time 2.3 is released.

I have no plans to ever use System 8 in the future.

>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).


I am hoping by then that wxPython-mac will be running
