I'm by far not an expert on parsers, but I think forking that 2to3 part in the standard library could work (i.e. a lot of careful work, but then it's much more robust). Internally, I think this tool works by being able to parse both python versions into a syntax tree -- that's done in a .c file, such that this grammar definition is being compiled to run quickly. Then, there are many python files in fixes/ which are doing the transformations of the parsed tree. There is also a fix_print.py, which would need that little bit of patching to handle the case of tuples vs. concatenated strings better. SageMath specific transformations would be additional fix_*.py transformations. -- h -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
