Carbon event, ReceiveNextEvent has an inList variable
(const EventTypeSpec *inList) which can be specified as
Null "if any event should cause this function to
return." I've tried passing ReceiveNextEvent a 0,
None/NULL an empty tuple/length two array, but it
either throws an error, "TypeError: argument must be
2-item sequence, not None" or "int" or throws error
type -9875. I looked at _CarbonEvtModule.c and it
doesn't look like I can pass ReceiveNextEvent a Null
because it demands a type of EventTypeSpec.

Needs confirmation.

I have the strong impression that Carbon is no longer used (or is being phased out) in modern Mac ports of Python. Reopen is this is wrong and there is a problem in 2.6,7 or 3.1,2.
