I need to generate Python code to be more specific IronPyton. I also need to be able to parse the code and to load it into AST. I just started looking at some tools. I played with "Oslo" and made a decision that it's not the right tool for me. I just looked very briefly at Coco/R and it looks promising.
Does anyone use Coco/R?
If you did what's your experience with the tool
Can you recommend some other tool?
The IronPython implementation itself includes a parser and an AST representation of Python programs which can be walked with a PythonWalker
.
Not really my area of expertise but you might want to try ANTLR 4. It has support for generating Python 2 and Python 3.
I think you should look at the Dynamic Language Runtime. This will be a standard part of some later version of .Net and C# (.Net 4 from memory).
I've used it to compile and execute Python code generated at runtime, but I haven't played with all the AST stuff yet.
