Serhiy Storchaka added the comment:
Here are completed patches for the _bz2 and _lzma modules (only constructors
are not converted) and preliminary patch for the zlib module.
There are issues in the zlib module:
* Argument Clinic generates invalid code for zlib_Decompress_flush
(issue20196).
* Argument Clinic can simulate optional positional parameters without default
Python values only using groups, and resulting code differs from original and
is too cumbersome (see code for zlib_compress, zlib_decompress,
zlib_Decompress_flush).
* I have experimented in zlib_decompressobj, and I got good compact code, but
wrong docstring ("decompressobj(wbits=None, zdict=None)"). Needed a way to
specify optional parameters without default Python values. Correct signature
should be something like "decompressobj([wbits], [zdict])".
* Previous approach is not applicable to compressobj because Py_buffer can't
have default value. Seems as compressobj is not compatible with Argument
Clinic.
* This is not specific to this patch, but pydoc produces wrong outputs for
compressobj.
Perhaps there are other issues, this is only preliminary patch.
Larry, I don't want to scatter patches for these related modules and merge
them with patches for totally unrelated modules. And I think it would be
cumbersome to Nadeem Vawda to make reviews in such circumstances.
