[Pythonmac-SIG] Carbon bindings' future

[Ronald Oussoren]

Folks,

The removal of the Carbon bindings shouldn't  impact the functionality  
of the rest of the standard library. This means we need to do some  
work though, because urllib relies on the Carbon bindings to get the  
current proxy settings.

The best way to fix that (IMO of course) is to write a small C  
extension that uses the Carbon API's to fetch that data into a  
dictionary. All code for that is present in the Python source tree,  
but in Python instead of in C. Hence writing the extension should be  
easy enough.

Is anyone game for writing this extension?

Ronald
