Hi,

May be, with recent discussions on format, this could be interesting:

A few years ago I asked the Python community whether there would be
any interest in an xml-ized Python source format. At that time, there
was not.

Naturally, I have some sympathy with the srcml, but my guess is that
it is not likely to catch on as a source format.

srcml seems like something more relevant to your "pylint" research.

In what way?

It's about annotating source code with semantic meaning. You can
handle srcML like AST tree I guess.

Not that it would make things easier than just dealing with AST.
