+\chapter{MacOS Toolbox Modules \label{toolbox}}
+
+There are a set of modules that provide interfaces to various MacOS
+toolboxes. If applicable the module will define a number of Python
+objects for the various structures declared by the toolbox, and
+operations will be implemented as methods of the object. Other
+operations will be implemented as functions in the module. Not all
+operations possible in C will also be possible in Python (callbacks
+are often a problem), and parameters will occasionally be different in
+Python (input and output buffers, especially). All methods and
+functions have a \member{__doc__} string describing their arguments
+and return values, and for additional description you are referred to
+\citetitle[http://developer.apple.com/techpubs/macos8/mac8.html]{Inside
+Macintosh} or similar works.
+
+
+\strong{Warning!} These modules are not yet documented. If you
+wish to contribute documentation of any of these modules, please get
+in touch with \email{python-docs@python.org}.
