Mac OS X 10.3 - Quartz Python Scripting

[Kevin Smith]

I saw this tidbit in the summary of new features of the next version of
OS X. Does anyone know exactly what this means?

Quartz Python Scripting ? Access the full power of the Quartz PDF engine
from the Python scripting language.

No, and I doubt we'll find out what it really means until Panther is
out and NDAs expire. One consequence is that 10.3 will ship with a
less messed up Python build than 10.2, so it should be possible to
ship non-trivial Python applications to Panther users without having
to include Python (i.e. you can just use the --semi-standalone option
to buildbuilder).

effect of any one of us on such a flimsy marketing strategy...
