This came up again recently in issue 6621. What's the current status of the binhex module in py3k? It looks as though the Carbon-specific code has been partially but not completely removed. In particular, there are references to FSSpec remaining, but no FSSpec is imported anywhere. The references to FSSpec are all inside "if os.name == 'mac': ... " blocks. On my 10.5/Intel and 10.4/PPC systems os.name gives 'posix', so these blocks never get executed. Is it safe to simply remove these blocks?
