That doesn't surprise me, the generator scripts don't know about OSType 
and nobody got around to implementing these manually. BTW. The last 
function is present in package Foundation.

Adding the other two shouldn't be two hard. Unless someone beats me to 
it, I'll add them early next week. Note to self: Use PyMac_GetOSType 
and PyMac_BuildOSType for translating OSType to/from a python value 
(for compatibility with MacPython).
