Python Language Services¶
Python provides a number of modules to assist in working with the Python language. These modules support tokenizing, parsing, syntax analysis, bytecode disassembly, and various other facilities.
These modules include:
ast— Abstract Syntax Trees- Abstract Grammar
- Node classes
AST- Root nodes
- Literals
- Variables
- Expressions
- Statements
- Control flow
- Pattern matching
- Type parameters
- Function and class definitions
- Async and await
astHelpers- Compiler Flags
- Command-Line Usage
