It applies in the same way to a Python implementation as declaring the DSL comment blocks in a C file applies to a Python implementation. This is exactly the same. 1) I think that third party tools should be able to extract *all* required information from the DSL only. 2) After writing a new custom converter, I'd rather edit a header file and not the preprocessor source. 3) Likewise, I'd rather edit a header file than inserting a magic [python] block into the C source that registers the required information with the preprocessor in a completely implementation defined way. > > The example in posixmodule.c takes up a lot of space and from the > perspective > of auditing the effects it's a little like following a longjmp. > > > I got strong feedback that I needed more examples.
