There are no stupid questions, only stupid answers...

I've spent the last couple of hours looking for info about the MacOS 
interface(s).  Here is my summary:

There is already a group of (apple supplied?) shared libraries that 
provide a Carbon interface.  This is on standard python OSX install. 
(?)
I'm not sure if there is a similar thing for Cocoa.
I'm still learning the difference ;)
[edit]Cocoa might be better, since Carbon is partly a legacy thing, but 
Carbon apps might run in OS9.  Care?[/edit]
I need to source the Learning Carbon and/or Learning Cocoa books from 
O'Reilly, since I can't stay connected to the internet to look at 
Apple's docs all day and night.
Someone has created a Python thingo for Xcode, Apple's Development 
Environment.  This might allow for direct creation of MacOS X apps in 
python! (Sorry, i got excited about that bit!)
PyObjC exists also.   (Allows use of Objective-C [MacOS X standard 
language] bits in python)
Apple have included stuff for Quartz access, which allows for graphics 
handling, but, IIUC (if I understand correctly) not for UI stuff.
[OT]Running limewire causes safari to fail on dns lookups.[/OT]
pythonmac.wiki.org has some good information...

More later - I've got stuff to play with now...
