If you want, as far as I can see, there are some packages for doing that in PyPI already. Also, the patch looks small so you can just add this to the required project. > This would be useful for those who would like to benefit from the utilities > of the json module for formatting, pretty-printing, and the like. ast.dump now can dump in pretty-printed way. > It would also be useful for those who want to serialize the AST or export it > in a form that can be consumed in an other programming language. As I said, serializing/exporting the AST isn't a common use case. It is a very specific goal. In general, I'm -1 on this. ---------- nosy: +benjamin.peterson, pablogsal _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue39686> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
