New submission from Larry Hastings:
Following a new discussion of the format of the text signature, I decided to go
with this:
<name-of-function>(...)\n--\n\n
See here for the discussion:
https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2014-February/132271.html
Patch attached implementing this approach. Can I get a review? I want this in
before tagging for rc1 on Saturday.
Other changes:
* clinic.py now generates the "/" marker in sigantures to denote
positional-only parameters.
* clinic.py --make is a lot faster; it prescans the file for any
clinic block signatures, and if it doesn't see any it skips the file.
* When generating the docstring for a function with optional groups,
the signature generated is not intended to be machine-readable.
So it omits the "$", the "/", and the "--" markers. (See
Modules/_cursesmodule.c for the one and only example.)
