Under MacPython 2.2.X everything should work fine, but you have to 
remember to use
mac style :-separated pathnames.

Under unix-Python 2.2.X things are messy. Some routines expect 
mac-style pathnames,
some expect unix-style pathnames. I'm still hunting these down, so if 
you find
instances where a mac-style pathname is required please file a 
sourceforge bug report.
