It's a language design issue so it's off topic :-)

More seriously, sure, it would be nice to have some kind of standard.
Here, and in many similar code-manipulation places in PyPy, we had to
hack together our own minimal solution.  A harder problem along these
lines would be a better way to build pieces of code, in order to create
functions from scratch.  \n-joining together source lines full of %s,
avoiding name clashes, and getting the indentation right, is not fun.


A bientot,

Armin
