And obviously knowing a little more about the AST branch would be
helpful for those considering helping.
Is there any relatively up-to-date document about ast-branch? googling
about it turned up some pypy stuff from 2003, and I didn't look much
further.
I just built the ast-branch for fun, and "make test" mostly worked.
8 tests failed:
test_builtin test_dis test_generators test_inspect test_pep263
test_scope test_symtable test_trace
6 skips unexpected on linux2:
test_csv test_hotshot test_bsddb test_parser test_logging
test_email
I haven't looked at any of the failures in detail, but at least
test_bsddb is due to missing development libs on this system
One more thing: The software I work on by day has python scripting.
One part of that functionality is a tree display of a script. I'm not
actively involved with this part of the software (yet). Any comments on
whether ast-branch could be construed as helping make this kind of
functionality work better, faster, or easier? The code we use currently
is based on a modified version of the parser which includes comment
information, so we need to be aware of changes in this area anyhow.
(on the other hand, I won't hold my breath for permission to do this
on the clock, because of our own release scheduling I have other
projects on my plate now, and a version of our software that uses a
post-2.3 Python is years away)
