[Pythonmac-SIG] Zope py2app, some progress

All the example code is in Objective C.  Quite simply there is
far too steep a learning curve to get through these layers be
it Objective C or pseudo objects in C plus mapping into Python
land.

It really is orders of magnitude easier working with win32all
on Windows than trying to do the equivalent stuff on Mac.  Linux
doesn't even enter since there is no way of doing things like
help or some of the device stuff.

I had all the tools and examples you mentioned and I just have the
standard reinstall that came with the Mac mini.

I couldn't get the USB Prober to see libusb traffic so it may
require the device drivers to cooperate.  It looks like it installs
an alternative driver for the controller.
