Speaking as the father of Argument Clinic, I disagree.  My goal with 
Clinic is to convert every function in CPython whose semantics can be 
expressed with a PyArg_ parsing function.

For example, curses.window.addstr could be converted just fine.  Its 
signature is exactly the same as curses.window.addch which has already 
been converted.

socket.sendto eludes me for now--but I haven't given up yet.


Don't give up hope,
