The issue here is internal visibility. "lib2to3" is a library that supports "2to3" which is rather neglected internally since we started promoting `six` as a better migration strategy to Python 3. Most core devs don't even *know* new syntax is supposed to be added to lib2to3. Case in point: somehow Lib/tokenize.py was updated just in time for f-strings to be released but not Lib/lib2to3/pgen2/tokenize.py. By unifying the tokenizers and moving the CST out of lib2to3's guts (and documenting it as a supported feature!), I'm pretty sure we can eliminate the danger of forgetting to update it in the future. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue33337> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
