As far as I know PyPy supports the ast module, and produces ASTs that are the same as CPython's. That said I do regard this as an implementation detail, further I'm guessing this is the context of the AST optimizer thread, and though I have neither the time nor the inclination to wade into that, put me down as -1 a) everything proposed there is possible, b) making this a front-and-center API makes it really easy to shoot themselves in the foot, by doing things like breaking Python with invalid optimizations (hint: almost every optimization proposed in that thread is invalid in the general case).
