It's not in any 2.4 release, it's not even in the 2.4-universal tree  
yet. I don't have time to work on that tree at the moment, and would  
prefer to merge that tree into the 2.4.x branch of the official  
repository (as much is possible, some changes aren't acceptable for  
the 2.4.x branch).

Right, don't use aepack, aetools and aetypes. Those modules are  
broken on Intel and crufty enough that I don't intent to spent time  
on understanding them.

Too be blunt, for Python 2.6 we should start some effort to remove  
cruft from the mac part of the standard library and that probably  
includes more than just apple-event support.
