    ast

    ~~~



    The `ast` module helps Python applications to process trees of the Python

    abstract syntax grammar.  The abstract syntax itself might change with

    each Python release; this module helps to find out programmatically what

    the current grammar looks like and allows modifications of it.



    An abstract syntax tree can be generated by passing `ast.PyCF_ONLY_AST` as

    a flag to the `compile()` builtin function or by using the `parse()`

    function from this module.  The result will be a tree of objects whose

    classes all inherit from `ast.AST`.



    A modified abstract syntax tree can be compiled into a Python code object

    using the built-in `compile()` function.



    Additionally various helper functions are provided that make working with

    the trees simpler.  The main intention of the helper functions and this

    module in general is to provide an easy to use interface for libraries

    that work tightly with the python syntax (template engines for example).

class NodeTransformer(NodeVisitor):

    A :class:`NodeVisitor` subclass that walks the abstract syntax tree and

    allows modification of nodes.



    The `NodeTransformer` will walk the AST and use the return value of the

    visitor methods to replace or remove the old node.  If the return value of

    the visitor method is ``None``, the node will be removed from its location,

    otherwise it is replaced with the return value.  The return value may be the

    original node in which case no replacement takes place.



    Here is an example transformer that rewrites all occurrences of name lookups

    (``foo``) to ``data['foo']``::



       class RewriteName(NodeTransformer):



           def visit_Name(self, node):

                   ctx=node.ctx

               ), node)



    Keep in mind that if the node you're operating on has child nodes you must

    either transform the child nodes yourself or call the :meth:`generic_visit`

    method for the node first.



    For nodes that were part of a collection of statements (that applies to all

    statement nodes), the visitor may also return a list of nodes rather than

    just a single node.



    Usually you use the transformer like this::



       node = YourTransformer().visit(node)
