4 ~~~
5
6 The `ast` module helps Python applications to process trees of the Python
7 abstract syntax grammar. The abstract syntax itself might change with
8 each Python release; this module helps to find out programmatically what
9 the current grammar looks like and allows modifications of it.
10
11 An abstract syntax tree can be generated by passing `ast.PyCF_ONLY_AST` as
12 a flag to the `compile()` builtin function or by using the `parse()`
13 function from this module. The result will be a tree of objects whose
14 classes all inherit from `ast.AST`.
15
16 A modified abstract syntax tree can be compiled into a Python code object
17 using the built-in `compile()` function.
18
19 Additionally various helper functions are provided that make working with
20 the trees simpler. The main intention of the helper functions and this
21 module in general is to provide an easy to use interface for libraries
22 that work tightly with the python syntax (template engines for example).

260 visitor methods to replace or remove the old node. If the return value of
261 the visitor method is ``None``, the node will be removed from its location,
262 otherwise it is replaced with the return value. The return value may be the
263 original node in which case no replacement takes place.

278 either transform the child nodes yourself or call the :meth:`generic_visit`
279 method for the node first.

281 For nodes that were part of a collection of statements (that applies to all
282 statement nodes), the visitor may also return a list of nodes rather than
283 just a single node.
