Maybe overkill but why not follow 3 with 2 at the end of the file, the marker to be a very clear /\* Generated by Argument Clinic - DO NOT EDIT BELOW THIS LINE \*/ or whatever wording is appropriate in this case.

For what it's worth, if we use the "accumulator" approach I propose that the generated code doesn't go at the very end of the file. Instead, I suggest they should go \*near\* the end, below the implementations of the module / class methods, but above the methoddef/type structures and the module init function.

My reasoning: when I navigate CPython C files implementing a module or a type, when I know what entry point I want I just search for its name. When I don't know what I want, I jump to the end, then scroll up until I find the name in the init function or the structures. So I wouldn't want the code at the very end; that would screw up that navigation mode.
