MacPython includes waste, a TextEdit replacement which is (c) 1998 Marco Piovanelli.
- Handling of Dialogs and Windows that were not created by Python is a bit more graceful
now, which may fix some crashes.
- Ctl.SendControlMessage has gone. But it didn't work anyway.
+- Various problems with the TextEdit and Waste demos have been fixed.
- Embedding/extending only: in preparation to allowing the use of MacPython modules in
unix-Python on OSX the xxx_New and xxx_Convert routines are now optionally vectored via
glue routines in macglue.c. The only change that may be needed for embedders/extenders is
- PythonInterpreter used interactively will eat a lot of processor cycles. You should use
PythonIDE for interactive work and PythonInterpreter for scripts only. This is especially
true under OSX.
+- AliasMenu 2.2 conflicts with the Carbon version of Python. This is most likely a problem
+ with AliasMenu (which is from 1999, and thus predates Carbon altogether).
