8 logilab-astng \- Python Abstract Syntax Tree New Generation
11 The aim of this module is to provide a common base representation of
12 python source code for projects such as pychecker, pyreverse, pylint.
15 It provides a compatible representation which comes from the `_ast` module.
16 It rebuilds the tree generated by the builtin _ast module by recursively
17 walking down the AST and building an extended ast (let's call it astng ;). The
18 new node classes have additional methods and attributes for different usages.
19 They include some support for static inference and local name scopes.
20 Furthermore, astng builds partial trees by inspecting living objects.
26 * `bases`, `node_classses` and `scoped_nodes` contain the classes for the different type of nodes of the tree.
29 * the `manager` contains a high level object to get astng trees from source files and living objects. It maintains a cache of previously constructed tree for quick access
