Hi,

In fact allowing a version of Clinic to work stand alone as a PyPI project and generate Python 2.7 and 3.2/3.3 extension module boilerplate could would increase its adoption and improve the quality of some existing extension modules that choose to use it.

I agree: the same idea applies equally well to all existing 3rd-party extension modules, and does not depend on new CPython C API functions (so far), so Clinic should be released as a PyPI project too.

A bientôt,

Armin.
