The aim of this module is to provide a common base representation of
|
||
|
|
python source code for projects such as pychecker, pyreverse,
|
||
|
|
pylint... Well, actually the development of this library is essentially
|
||
|
|
governed by pylint's needs. It used to be called logilab-astng.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It provides a compatible representation which comes from the `_ast`
|
||
|
|
module. It rebuilds the tree generated by the builtin _ast module by
|
||
|
|
recursively walking down the AST and building an extended ast. The new
|
||
|
|
node classes have additional methods and attributes for different
|
||
|
|
usages. They include some support for static inference and local name
|
||
|
|
scopes. Furthermore, astroid builds partial trees by inspecting living
|
||
|
|
objects.
