Your examples and others that turned up on a Google search use
"/Users/username/python" as the PYTHONPATH. That seems to imply that
PythonCard should be dumped directly into said directory, so that
import PythonCard statements will find it. However, if I download using
CVS into this directory, it dumps a lot of other stuff into the same
place, including the folders CVS and CVSROOT. Will this create CVS 
problems
if I start downloading other Python packages into this directory using 
CVS?

Also, I'm curious how to start making use of the new platform-specific 
resource file
feature. Do these just automagically work under PythonCard .82 as long as 
the
resource files have the special naming convention examples from your 
original
posting?
