No. The parser module creates a concrete parse tree ( CST ) whereas the compiler package transforms this CST into an AST for subsequent computations. In more recent versions those CST -> AST transformations are performed by the runtime and the Python compiler uses those internally produced ASTs. The Python 2.6 API to ASTs is the ast module. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
