I have a Carbonized MacPython sort-of working. But: there is no GUSI for 
carbon yet, so it doesn't have sockets/select/threads, so that makes it rather 
useless. As soon as GUSI is Carbon-compatible we should have a working 
Carbon-Python.

The 2.0 distribution is build with standard CW Pro 5.3. If you want to do 
Carbon development you'll need CW Pro 6. And I've only done carbon work with 
the Pro 6 beta release (my full copy still hasn't arrived).

Things are slow with GUSI at the moment. And while a few people (including 
myself) have volunteered to help out it is rather difficult due to the GUSI 
source code structure (Matthias uses some sort of tangle/weave structure with 
homegrown tools).
