The 2to3 syntax tree is probably two low-level for that. It's good for simple isolated transformations like print, but not so much for the larger scale analysis that a lint tool would require. In addition, we'd have to write some sort of symtable analyzer. High level AST is much nicer to work with that. -- Regards, Benjamin _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
