Indeed. If anything is to be checked, it should be whether the child nodes or attributes have the right types. However, that should rather be done in a recursive check function on _mod, which then would also check whether all necessary fields have been set. Or, such checks could be delayed until actual compilation of the tree is attempted (i.e. conversion to the C AST structures). As for being able to pass constructor arguments: I'd expect them to be positional arguments, not keyword arguments - anybody creating AST nodes would normally have Python.asdl open, no? __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2505> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
