AFAIK the Clinic DSL can handle all of Python's C extensions. I have no plans to "revise the whole approach"; if someone else does I haven't heard about it.

I was just wondering that with so much effort to bring typing to the mainstream, a more "pythonic" DSL may emerge for describing the signatures of functions in C modules.

BTW, is there any document describing the syntax of "text signatures" such as:

os.rename.textsignature '($module, /, src, dst, *, src_dir_fd=None, dst_dir_fd=None)'

?

What does the "$module, /," part mean? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: <http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/attachments/20160804/db1d8e96/attachment.html>
