Hi Ronald,
Will this work (see attached)?

Folks,
The removal of the Carbon bindings shouldn't impact the
functionality of the rest of the standard library. This means we
need to do some work though, because urllib relies on the Carbon
bindings to get the current proxy settings.
The best way to fix that (IMO of course) is to write a small C
extension that uses the Carbon API's to fetch that data into a
dictionary. All code for that is present in the Python source tree,
but in Python instead of in C. Hence writing the extension should
be easy enough.
Is anyone game for writing this extension?
Ronald
