From the Argument Clinic PEP (436):
The primary implementation of Python, "CPython", is written in a
mixture of Python and C. One implementation detail of CPython is
what are called "built-in" functions -- functions available to
Python programs but written in C. When a Python program calls a
built-in function and passes in arguments, those arguments must be
translated from Python values into C values. This process is called
"parsing arguments".
I should probably amend that, because deciding how to map arguments to
parameters is also part of "parsing arguments".
