What you may not be aware of is that Tools/compiler (and the compiler package that it builds on) are both unused and unmaintained. If the package stops working correctly - tough luck. > So we would have > > Python.adsl ----????----> ast.txt ---- astgen.py ---> ast.py > containing all the UnarySub, Expression, classes that represents a > Python AST. No - what actually happens in Python 3.x is this: both the compiler package and Tools/compiler are removed.
