Never mind, that was a typo in my code. Somehow the system didn't  
understand what an CFBunldeURLScheme is :-)

The trunk of pyobjc now contains a version of the PyDocURLProtocol  
applet that can will handle pydoc:-urls in other programs. That is,  
after running the applet once you can do this from the shell:

    $ open pydoc:///os.open

This will open the pydoc for os.open in the applet. I guess a <a  
href="pydoc:///os.open"> in a HTML file will also work.

The important issue that kept me guessing for a while is that the  
AppleEvent is GURL/GURL, while gurl/gurl is used in  
Carbon.AppleEvents (and the system headers, this is not really a bug  
in MacPython).
