Re: [Jython-dev] Parsing jython code

[Jeff A. <ja...@fa...>]

Hi Albert.

Depends what you mean by "Jython code", but assuming it is Python source 
(with the few Jython quirks we need), then there's the ast module. 
There's a layer (_ast) generated by our ANTLR-based parser, and then the 
AST module sits on top to civilise it. It relies on the same classes we 
use in parsing to compile.

The documentation from python.org is not that great (or wasn't at 2.7) 
for the ast module, and I found this useful: 
https://greentreesnakes.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ when I was playing 
with the AST.
