STINNER Victor added the comment: "Would adding proper storage of syntax information in the AST cause performance issues?"

Again, use a different project (like RedBaron) if you need *all* information in the AST. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue25885> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
