the AEDesc data shouldn't be disposed when the Python object is.
Added a C call AEDesc_NewBorrowed() to create these objects and a Python
method old=AEDesc.AutoDispose(onoff) to change auto-dispose state.
TARGET_API_MAC_OS8 (or !TARGET_API_MAC_CARBON) is gone. Also some
TARGET_API_MAC_OSX conditional code is gone, because it is no longer
used on OSX-only Python (only in MacPython-OS9).
some of the more compilcated cases (CF, Res) haven't been done yet. Also,
various types should inherit from each other (anything with an as_Resource
method should be a Resource subtype, the CF types should become one family).
descriptors in stead of manual getattr hooks to get at attributes
of the objects.
For Qd I have in stead gotten rid of most of the attribute access
in favor of the carbon-style accessor methods (with the exception
of visRgn, to be done later), and of the Carbon.Qd.qd global object,
for which accessor functions are also available.
For List I have fixed the fact that various methods were incorrectly
generated as functions.
CF is untouched: PEP252 doesn't allow "poor-mans-inheritance" with
basechain, so it will have to wait for PEP253 support.
type.__module__ behavior.
This adds the module name and a dot in front of the type name in every
type object initializer, except for built-in types (and those that
already had this). Note that it touches lots of Mac modules -- I have
no way to test these but the changes look right. Apologies if they're
not. This also touches the weakref docs, which contains a sample type
object initializer. It also touches the mmap test output, because the
mmap type's repr is included in that output. It touches object.h to
put the correct description in a comment.
