Skip Montanaro added the comment: > Does "make touch" work for you as well?
Hadn't tried, and wasn't aware of its existence. I searched Makefile for things like AST_H. Perhaps: * Note "make touch" where the "A build now requires..." comment exists. That comment currently discourages users, as it gives no idea about the possibility of a workaround for a missing python. * Add a comment to the touch target identifying its purpose. It hadn't occurred to me to read the dev guide. That's for new contributors, not for old, lapsed contributors. <wink> Also, it still seems to me that the ASDLGEN definition should reference something that is explicitly "Python 3" and can't accidentally execute a Python 2.x interpreter (or, the AST-generation script should work in both Python 2.x and 3.x).
