Aivar Annamaa added the comment: ast.Attribute node actually means "the atribute of something", ie. the node includes this "something" as subnode.
> How can I get the position of 'bar' in 'foo.bar'? I don't know a good way for this, because bar is not an AST node for Python. If Python AST nodes included the information about where a node ends in source, I would take the ending col of node.value (foo in your example), and added 2. In my own program (http://thonny.cs.ut.ee, it's a Python IDE for beginners) I'm using a really contrived algorithm for determining the end positions of nodes. See function mark_text_ranges here: https://bitbucket.org/plas/thonny/src/b8860704c99d47760ffacfaa335d2f8772721ba4/thonny/ast_utils.py?at=master&fileviewer=file-view-default I'm not happy with my solution, but I don't know any other ways. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue21295> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
