- The main change is that all toolbox modules have moved to a package called Carbon.
So things like "import Res" should be changed to "from Carbon import Res", and
"from Res import *" to "from Carbon.Res import *". Please see the readme file for
some open questions and join the discussions on pythonmac-sig if you have anything
to contribute. Aside from reducing clutter this change will also benefit the

- On input MacPython now accepts either \n (unix style) or \r (mac style) newlines
