A real world example would be tools like `unimport`, that try to remove a certain part of import by looking start/end column offsets. Before (lib2to3), it was using tokens to manipulate source, and what I can tell is that having position information on multi line from imports would be a life saver for tool authors. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue40528> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
