Looks good to me to, and as someone who once tried to go the "preprocessor macro" route, much saner. One small thing: May I propose to make the "special comments" a little more self-descriptive? Yes, "argument clinic" is a nice name for the whole thing, but if you encounter it in a C file there's nothing it tells you about what happens there. cheers, Georg _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
