\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}.
