This issue is part of the Great Argument Clinic Conversion Derby,
where we're trying to convert as much of Python 3.4 to use
Argument Clinic as we can before Release Candidate 1 on January 19.

This issue asks you to change the following bundle of files:
Modules/mmapmodule.c: 10 sites
Modules/_localemodule.c: 10 sites
Modules/zipimport.c: 9 sites
Modules/ossaudiodev.c: 9 sites
Modules/_testbuffer.c: 9 sites
Modules/_struct.c: 3 sites

Talk to me (larry) if you only want to attack part of a bundle.

For instructions on how to convert a function to work with Argument
Clinic, read the "howto":
http://docs.python.org/dev/howto/clinic.html

Could you take out _testbuffer.c? It has 100% coverage patches which
would break and it is not a public module.

[larryhastings]

Sure. Whoever takes ownership of this issue: please ignore _testbuffer.c.

[larryhastings]

All the Derby patches should only go into trunk at this point.
