CPython 2.5, which will be released Real Soon Now, is the first version to ship with new "AST branch", which have been in development for a long time.
AST branch uses ASDL, Abstract Syntax Description Language http://asdl.sourceforge.net/ to describe Abstract Syntax Tree data structure used by CPython compiler. In theory this is language independant, and the same file could be used to generate C# source files. Having the same AST for Python implementations will be good for applications and libraries using Python implementations's internal parsers and compilers. Currently, those using CPython parser module or compiler package can't be easily ported to IronPython.
