[Pythonmac-SIG] MacPython 2.3 - Carbon only?

[Magladry, Stephen]

No take a look at point 1 from Jack initial e-mail.

		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.

		I think that this only limits what platform can be used for
development. I
