More information on Question about Code Generation

[Andrew Frances]

Hi Montreal Python group:

Some more information. I think something along the lines of 2to3.py. I am starting to look at Lib2to3 which in turn references LibCST as a solution moving forward. Still I would appreciate feedback.

Cheers,

Andrew

Hi Andrew,
I think AST would would be better than whatever lib2to3 is using.
Starting with Python 3.9, lib2to3 is pending deprecation as a result of
Python changing its parser. The 3.9 release notes recommend using ast,
which will be maintained to support the new syntax features moving
forward.

Good luck!

Hi Yannick:

Great to hear from you. Thanks for your input! Yes, the parser changed in Python 3.9. I ended up going with LibCST. LibCST is up to date, good documentation and it worked like a charm! If I get more work done (I'm writing tools for a Python based voice app), perhaps I can give a talk when MTL Python resumes in person.

Again, thanks for your input!

Cheers,

Andrew

Great to know that LibCST is a viable option. By the way, you don't
have to wait until meetings resume in person since we have an excellent
series of virtual meetings since the start of the Pandemic:
