[Pythonmac-SIG] MacOSX posixpath to macpath?

I probably just didn't look around enough, however I have a problem 
with which I need help.

The problem is that using Stuffit Installer Maker on OS X (even the 
supposed OSX version of this program,) with the Generated OSA wrappers, 
I need to pass string paths to SIM.  However SIM does not accept the 
standard posix paths (i.e. '/Users/sean/instalerfile",)  that the 
newest version of MacPython for OSX uses. (In this case 2.3)  Instead 
it will only accept the old standard macintosh paths 
("MacHD:Users:sean:installerfile")

Is there a conversion function for handling this? I need one because of 
course these paths are going to be based off of different settings per 
developer.

I of course would prefer not use paths, but that is the way that SIM 
works.
