[Pythonmac-SIG] How do I set type and creator?

[Chris Barker]

Hi folks,

I need to set the type and creator for a file I just created. I used to 
be abel to do this with:

import macfs
mac_file = macfs.FSSpec(MyfilePath)
mac_file.SetCreatorType('COSM','.SAV')

Now it looks like I want to use the Carbon.File module, but I'm getting 
lost in the details:

File.FSMakeFSSpec() requires a volume reference number and directory 
ID...I have no idea where to get those. I'm a bit lost in the Inside 
Macintosh references. There has to be an easy way to do this!!

thanks,  Chris
