1 """Package for parsing and compiling Python source code 2 3 There are several functions defined at the top level that are imported 4 from modules contained in the package. 5 6 parse(buf, mode="exec") -> AST 7 Converts a string containing Python source code to an abstract 8 syntax tree (AST). The AST is defined in compiler.ast. 9 10 parseFile(path) -> AST 11 The same as parse(open(path)) 12 13 walk(ast, visitor, verbose=None) 14 Does a pre-order walk over the ast using the visitor instance. 15 See compiler.visitor for details. 16 17 compile(source, filename, mode, flags=None, dont_inherit=None) 18 Returns a code object. A replacement for the builtin compile() function. 19 20 compileFile(filename) 21 Generates a .pyc file by compiling filename. 22 """ 23 24 from compiler.transformer import parse, parseFile 25 from compiler.visitor import walk 26 from compiler.pycodegen import compile, compileFile
