[Pythonmac-SIG] question about event handlers

Hi Stephen,

I would think polling aggressively, but on a timer basis, for the mouse
location (and then finding the underlying window) is probably the most
appropriate way to achieve a smooth mouse move handling.

Although you're right, it could be a carbon event that does that already.

Alex.
