The existing ast-branch mostly works, but it does not include most of the new features of Python 2.4. There is a substantial integration effort, perhaps easy for someone who does a lot of CVS branch merges. (In particular, the head has already been merged to this branch once.)
I think it would be easier to create a new branch from the current head, integrate the small number of changed files from ast-branch, and work with that branch instead. The idea is that it's an end-run around doing an automatic CVS merge and relying on someone to manually merge the changes. At the same time, since there is a groundswell of support for finishing the AST work, I'd like to propose that we stop making compiler / bytecode changes until it is done. Every change to compile.c or the bytecode ends up creating a new incompatibilty that needs to be merged. If these two plans sound good, I'll get started on the new branch.
