My own opinion could easily be influenced by having some hands-on time with actual code, and I suspect even Guido could be influenced if he could pull some things up in his editor and take a look around. I've uploaded a prototype here: https://bitbucket.org/larry/python-clinic-buffer I have now received exactly zero feedback about the prototype, which suggests people aren't using it. In an attempt to jump-start this conversation, I've created a new repository containing the "concrete examples of the various options" that Barry proposed above. You may find it here: https://bitbucket.org/larry/clinic-buffer-samples/src In it I converted Modules/pickle.c four different ways. There's a README, please read it. People who want to change how Clinic writes its output: this is your big chance. Comment on these samples, or produce your own counterexamples, or something. If you can enough people on your side maybe Clinic will change. If there is no further debate on this topic, nothing will happen and Clinic will not change.

Having converted several modules to AC, I think I'm

-1 original +0 sidefile +1 multiple buffers +0 buffer -0 modified buffer
