Not really. The "after" phrasing comes from the parsing part which does move through the source pretty much linearly in both the traditional and PEG parsers (as far as I understand the latter). What I really meant with respect to the code generation was what you describe as "going 'up'" with respect to the AST. Evidently I got that wrong. I have a somewhat nebulous understanding of which way is "up", I guess. :-) I need to go back to school on compiler tech. _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list -- python-ideas@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-ideas-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-ideas.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/message/Y5BJRTXITUITRDMWWHXDFRE2I65EZMC3/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
