If we move big chunks of code around twice, I guess "hg blame" will break twice, too. That is another thing worth considering.

Breaking on generated code doesn't sound very annoying, though.

I agree with Serhiy, but that is probably known at this point. :)

I agree with Serhiy and you too. Clinic's current output makes C files more tedious to read, and I'm not really willing to participate in the "conversion derby" because of that. What were Guido's arguments?

Also, see http://bugs.python.org/issue19723

Antoine.
