Are you sure? I'm pretty sure Argument Clinic signatures support
"return converters", which are emitted in the text signature as a return
annotation. See the section "Using a return converter" in
Doc/howto/clinic.rst.
What appears to be lacking is a "return converter" that handles
strings. I don't know how easy or hard it would be to write one--I
haven't thought about Argument Clinic in years. However, the
DecodeFSDefault() returns a string type, with some extra implied
constraints on the value I think. So my guess is, it wouldn't be too
hard to add a simple "str" return converter.
Cheers,
