[and lots more like this].

I think these are not a problem, just ignore them, they'll go away with  
2.4. You can quench them with the warning package  
(warnings.filterwarnings() is the call you want to use), but because  
the warnings are issued by the parser you have to call  
warnings.filterwarnings in the module importing QuickTime.QuickTime, I  
can't do it in the module itself.
