[Pythonmac-SIG] MacPython 2.3 - Carbon only?

[Chris Lumsargis]

This is my first time to post on pythonmac-sig. I think your idea of 
going Carbon-only is a good one. It would make developing for me a whole 
lot simpler since most of my development tools either Cocoa or Carbon. 
Additionally, anything to speed the development process up and make 
things simpler for you is a boon of folks like me.

Thanks,

Chris Lumsargis
