If you want to struggle through it by hand, read clinic.py (obviously), and then search for the string "clinic" in these files:

Modules/cursesmodule.c Modules/datetimemodule.c Modules/dbmmodule.c Modules/posixmodule.c Modules/unicodedata.c Modules/weakref.c Modules/zlibmodule.c Objects/dictobject.c Objects/unicodeobject.c

Can you suggest how I could make it easier for you to review? I'd be happy to make an issue for it, which I probably should do anyway (if there isn't already one).

hg di -r "" sounds like a good approach.

Not at the moment. I'm a neophyte when it comes to moderne sophisticated Makefile munging. There's also a chicken-and-egg problem there.

Well, solving the chicken-and-egg problem is what would make the Makefile integration interesting :-)

Antoine.
