STINNER Victor <vstin...@python.org> added the comment:
I reject the feature request. While repr() on AST nodes could be enhanced for some specific nodes, you have to know that the code is mostly implemented in C which make enhancements non-trivial. Moreover, this code (Python/Python-ast.c) is generated by a script (Parser/asdl_c.py) which makes it even worse to enhance. I suggest you to develop tooling outside of the stdlib to format an AST tree or a list of AST nodes, something like pprint and reprlib modules. It would benefit to more Python versions and will give you way more freedom on how to format these nodes. ---------- resolution: -> rejected stage: -> resolved status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue39715> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
