[Docstring-develop] Further adventures of ast-mining.py

[Tony J I. (Tibs) <to...@ls...>]

[recipients pruned - I've removed Python-Dev - will they care?]

I've had a *little* time to play with ast-mining.py, but won't have any
more today.

Whilst I'm not sure if this is of direct interest to anyone else, I'm
providing an update on the "release early, release often" principle.

I've uploaded two files:

	http://www.tibsnjoan.co.uk/reST/ast-mining.py
	http://www.tibsnjoan.co.uk/reST/test.py

The former now has a different command line interface (huh - sounds
posher than it is) - basically it can do what it did before, but it can
also "pretty print" the AST, or find candidates for assignments followed
by docstrings (DPS proposes to support these). It doesn't yet check the
candidates!

The latter is a simple test Python file suitable for input.

My intention is to provide a well commented example of a visitor, and
some simple tools for learning about ASTs. This is obviously of interest
to me, and I'm fairly sure addresses some of Neal's needs - is it also
useful to you, Jeremy?

The example visitor should then be directly usable by DPS, which is why
I'm faffing around with assignment docstrings (it will also make the
example a bit more interesting).
