Funny, you aren't the first one I've found who has taken this approach. This guys is converting lib2to3 output to xml and throwing lxml on it https://github.com/bukzor/RefactorLib I don't know what it's worth, he doesn't seem to have done any advertisement for it and the code is not very big. > The implementation uses python's AST tree and the tokenize module > to retrieve information that is thrown away by the AST. > This way I didnt need to implement my own python parser. > It ended up being much more work than I expected but I still believe thats > better than maitaining another parser. Oh, I understand you so much, I didn't knew how much that would took me to parse python, if I knew I probably would have never done this project.
