This clarified your proposal for Python considerably. So I note that now and especially once the AST compiler is completed, you are quite free to start a Python AST Extension (PASTE) project quite independently of Guido and the PSF developers. Build an AST-based editor like Fowler described, with transient text presentations. (And pick your preferred GUI for doing so.) Or design a system for translating domain-specific languages into PyASTs, from whence they can be compiled to bytecode and run. Terry J. Reedy -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
