Is there a way to convert a given Python abstract syntax tree (AST) to a source code?
Here is a good example of how to use Python's ast
module, specifically a NodeTransformer
. I was looking for a way to convert the resulting AST back to source, so the changes can be inspected visually.
Have a look at http://pypi.python.org/pypi/sourcecodegen/0.6.14
The Python source tree contains an implementation of this: unparse.py in the Demo/parser directory: https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/master/Tools/parser/unparse.py
