\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.
These modules all live in a package called \module{Carbon}. Despite the
name Carbon they are also available under classic PPC MacPython.
The normal use pattern is
\begin{verbatim}
from Carbon import AE
\end{verbatim}
\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}.
