to know that it's pretty much the standard way (by now) of accessing

MacPython. PythonIDE, Package Manager, etc.: not gonna be included. At a minimum, you should note that this stuff is "legacy." Also, who writes 2. Ditto for "Apple Events." Does anyone use gensuitemodule or even know what it means? (I don't.) I don't use appscripting, but I do know enough

Hey, I'm linking to the official documentation.  That's what people
will use, till it changes.  All this other stuff scattered around is
blue-sky wild-ass future, till it's documented.

Eeks, are you linking to http://docs.python.org/mac/mac.html?

Most of that is empty and of no use to users.

You can file documentation bugs at http://sourceforge.net/bugs/? group_id=5470.

But that is of little use unless you volunteer to write the documentation as well. Jack seems to be the only one of the core python developers that knows enought about the mac specific modules to write documentation, and he left the documentation empty by design: it should be easy enough to fetch information from Apple's documentation for the C API.
