\section{Built-in module \sectcode{macconsole}}
\bimodindex{macconsole}
This module is available on the Macintosh, provided Python has been
built using the Think C compiler. It provides an interface to the
Think console package, with which basic text windows can be created.
\begin{datadesc}{options}
An object allowing you to set various options when creating windows,
see below.
\end{datadesc}
\begin{datadesc}{C_ECHO}
\dataline{C_NOECHO}
\dataline{C_CBREAK}
\dataline{C_RAW}
Options for the \code{setmode} method. \var{C_ECHO} and \var{C_CBREAK}
enable character echo, the other two disable it, \var{C_ECHO} and
\var{C_NOECHO} enable line-oriented input (erase/kill processing,
etc).
\end{datadesc}
\begin{funcdesc}{copen}{}
Open a new console window. Returns a console window object.
\end{funcdesc}
\begin{funcdesc}{fopen}{fp}
Return the console window object corresponding with the given file
object. \var{Fp} should be one of \var{sys.stdin}, \var{sys.stdout} or
\var{sys.stderr}.
\end{funcdesc}
\subsection{macconsole options object}
These options are examined when a window is created:
\renewcommand{\indexsubitem}{(macconsole option)}
\begin{datadesc}{top}
\dataline{left}
The origin of the window.
\end{datadesc}
\begin{datadesc}{nrows}
\dataline{ncols}
The size of the window.
\end{datadesc}
\begin{datadesc}{txFont}
\dataline{txSize}
\dataline{txStyle}
The font, fontsize and fontstyle to be used in the window.
\end{datadesc}
\begin{datadesc}{title}
The title of the window.
\end{datadesc}
\begin{datadesc}{pause_atexit}
If set non-zero, the window will wait for user action before closing
the window.
\end{datadesc}
\subsection{console window object}
\renewcommand{\indexsubitem}{(console window method)}
\begin{datadesc}{file}
The file object corresponding to this console window. If the file is
buffered, you should call \code{file.flush()} between \code{write()}
and \code{read()} calls.
\end{datadesc}
\begin{funcdesc}{setmode}{mode}
Set the input mode of the console to \var{C_ECHO}, etc.
\end{funcdesc}
\begin{funcdesc}{settabs}{n}

\section{Built-in module \sectcode{macfs}}
\bimodindex{macfs}
This module provides access to macintosh FSSpec handling, the Alias
Manager, finder aliases and the Standard File package.
Whenever a function or method expects a \var{file} argument, this
argument can be one of three things: (1) a full or partial macintosh
pathname, (2) an FSSpec object or (3) a 3-tuple \code{(wdRefNum,
parID, name)} as described in Inside Mac VI. A description of aliases
and the standard file package can also be found there.
\begin{funcdesc}{FSSpec}{file}
Create an FSSpec object for the specified file.
\end{funcdesc}
\begin{funcdesc}{RawFSSpec}{data}
Create an FSSpec object given the raw data for the C structure for the
FSSpec.
\end{funcdesc}
\begin{funcdesc}{RawAlias}{data}
Create an Alias object given the raw data for the alias.
\end{funcdesc}
\begin{funcdesc}{ResolveAliasFile}{file}
Resolve an alias file. Returns a 3-tuple \code{(fsspec, isfolder,
aliased)} where \var{fsspec} is the resulting FSSpec object,
\var{isfolder} is true if \var{fsspec} points to a folder and
\var{aliased} is true if the file was an alias in the first place
(otherwise the FSSpec object for the file itself is returned).
\end{funcdesc}
\begin{funcdesc}{StandardGetFile}{\optional{type\, ...}}
Present the user with a standard ``open onput file''
dialog. Optionally, you can pass up to four 4-char file types to limit
the files the user can choose from. The function returns an FSSpec
object and a flag indicating that the user completed the dialog
without cancelling.
\end{funcdesc}
\begin{funcdesc}{StandardPutFile}{prompt\, \optional{default}}
Present the user with a standard ``open output file''
dialog. \var{prompt} is the prompt string, and the optional
\var{default} argument initialized the output file name. The function
returns an FSSpec object and a flag indicating that the user completed
the dialog without cancelling.
\end{funcdesc}
\begin{funcdesc}{GetDirectory}{}
Present the user with a non-standard ``select a directory''
dialog. Returns an FSSpec object and a success-indicator.
\end{funcdesc}
\subsection{FSSpec objects}
\renewcommand{\indexsubitem}{(FSSpec object method)}
\begin{datadesc}{data}
The raw data from the FSSpec object, suitable for passing
to other applications, for instance.
\end{datadesc}
\begin{funcdesc}{as_pathname}{}
Return the full pathname of the file described by the FSSpec object.
\end{funcdesc}
\begin{funcdesc}{as_tuple}{}
Return the \code{(wdRefNum, parID, name)} tuple of the file described
by the FSSpec object.
\end{funcdesc}
\begin{funcdesc}{NewAlias}{\optional{file}}
Create an Alias object pointing to the file described by this
FSSpec. If the optional \code{file} parameter is present the alias
will be relative to that file, otherwise it will be absolute.
\end{funcdesc}
\begin{funcdesc}{NewAliasMinimal}{}
Create a minimal alias pointing to this file.
\end{funcdesc}
\begin{funcdesc}{GetCreatorType}{}
Return the 4-char creator and type of the file.
\end{funcdesc}
\begin{funcdesc}{SetCreatorType}{creator\, type}
Set the 4-char creator and type of the file.
\end{funcdesc}
\subsection{alias objects}
\renewcommand{\indexsubitem}{(alias object method)}
\begin{datadesc}{data}
The raw data for the Alias record, suitable for storing in a resource
or transmitting to other programs.
\end{datadesc}
\begin{funcdesc}{Resolve}{\optional{file}}
Resolve the alias. If the alias was created as a relative alias you
should pass the file relative to which it is. Returns the FSSpec for
the file pointed to and a flag indicating whether the alias object
itself was modified during the search process.
\end{funcdesc}
\begin{funcdesc}{GetInfo}{num}
An interface to the C routine \code{GetAliasInfo()}.
\end{funcdesc}
\begin{funcdesc}{Update}{file\, \optional{file2}}
Update the alias to point to the \var{file} given. If \var{file2} is
present a relative alias will be created.
\end{funcdesc}
Note that is currently not possible to directly manipulate a resource
as an alias object. Hence, after calling \var{Update} or after
\var{Resolve} indicates that the alias has changed the python program
is responsible for getting the \var{data} from the alias object and
modifying the resource.

\section{Built-in module \sectcode{macspeech}}
\bimodindex{macspeech}
This module provides an interface to the Macintosh Speech Manager,
allowing you to let the macintosh utter phrases. You need a version of
the speech manager extension (version 1 and 2 have been tested) in
your \code{Extensions} folder for this to work. The module does not
provide full access to all features of the Speech Manager yet.
\begin{funcdesc}{Available}{}
Test availability of the Speech Manager extension (and, on the
PowerPC, the Speech Manager shared library). Returns 0 or 1.
\end{funcdesc}
\begin{funcdesc}{Version}{}
Return the (integer) version of the Speech Manager.
\end{funcdesc}
\begin{funcdesc}{SpeakString}{str}
Utter the string \var{str} using the default voice,
asynchronously. This aborts any speech that may still be active from
prior \code{SpeakString} invocations.
\end{funcdesc}
\begin{funcdesc}{Busy}{}
Return the number of speech channels busy, system-wide.
\end{funcdesc}
\begin{funcdesc}{CountVoices}{}
Return the number of different voices available.
\end{funcdesc}
\begin{funcdesc}{GetIndVoice}{num}
Return a voice object for voice number \var{num}.
\end{funcdesc}

Voice objects contain the description of a voice. It is currently not
yet possible to access the parameters of a voice.
\renewcommand{\indexsubitem}{(voice object method)}
\begin{funcdesc}{GetGender}{}
Return the gender of the voice: 0 for male, 1 for female and -1 for neuter.
\end{funcdesc}
\begin{funcdesc}{NewChannel}{}
Return a new speech channel object using this voice.
\end{funcdesc}
\subsection{speech channel objects}
A speech channel object allows you to speak strings with slightly more
control than \code{SpeakString()}, and allows you to use multiple
speakers at the same time. Please note that channel pitch and rate are
interrelated in some way, so that to make your macintosh sing you will
have to adjust both.
\renewcommand{\indexsubitem}{(speech channel object method)}
\begin{funcdesc}{SpeakText}{str}
Start uttering the given string.
\end{funcdesc}
\begin{funcdesc}{Stop}{}
Stop babbling.
\end{funcdesc}
