I know several applications using the GUSI (at SourceForge) MacPython,
and several more, and that seems to work ok. GUSI is like POSIX sockets
on the mac using OT under the hood. Couldn't it be possible to just
replace the mac specific socket code with the unix one, and use GUSI
for all socket stuff? After all, the unix socket code is very well tested.
Anyone knows something more about GUSI?
