[Pythonmac-SIG] CVS users beware: macfs is gone...

[Jack Jansen]

People building Python from CVS should beware: the macfs module, our 
old and loyal friend, is gone and has been replaced by a pure Python 
module of the same name. The new macfs uses functionality from 
Carbon.File and others to try and be an almost-100%-compatible 
replacement, please let me know of any problems.
MACFS is also gone, the constants are now in macfs. When you import 
macfs, though, it does also register itself in sys.modules as MACFS as 
well (so you don't immideately have to fix all your "import MACFS" 
statements.

There's still a few loose ends to be fixed (macfsn will be integrated 
in macfs, hfsplus will probably disappear), but as 2.3a1 is imminent 
please let me know ASAP about any trouble you have with the new setup.

The new macfs module, by the way, is also a nice showcase of the new 
functionality that you can subclass objects from the Carbon group of 
modules. NIIIIFTYYYYYYYYY! (well, *I* think it's nifty:-)
