At the risk of making you repeat yourself, and just to be sure I understand: There are C objects used by the compiler and Python objects that are exposed to the users (written in C though) that are generated by the AST grammar. That at least sounds like they are different. The last I checked the grammar was Python.asdl and the translater was asdl_c.py resulting in /Python/Python-ast.c which looks like it is the implementation of _ast.py Are the AST objects from Python-ast.c used by the compiler? And what is the relationship between Python-ast.c and /Python/ast.c? And what about the CST mentioned at the top of /Python/ast.c? I ask all of this because I want to be sure that separating the internal AST in Jython from the one exposed in ast.py is really a good idea. If CPython does not make this distinction that will be a strike against the idea. -Frank _______________________________________________ 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
