Assuming you have a FSSpec or something,
Carbon.File.FSpCreateResourceFork or similar is your friend.  Then you
need to create a resource

r = Res.Resource(<data>)

and add it to the resource fork

r.AddResouce(type, id, name)

(this adds it to the "current resource file" or whatever).

I'm not really competent to give a tutorial in the Resource Manager,
but HTH.  Apple's documentation isn't that hard to translate to
Python.
