> Hi All,
\>
\> Earlier this morning I had a slight tackle with a couple of the 3.4 bots
\> (sorry everyone!). I fixed some problems in asdl.py -
\> http://hg.python.org/cpython/rev/21d46e3ae60c - and used the 'with'
\> statement. Some bots don't have Python 2.6+ and couldn't bootstrap
\> Python-ast.h/c
\>
\> Two questions:
\>
\> \* Should I always check-in Python-ast.h and Python-ast.c when I touch asdl\*
\> ? The generated files are unchanged, it's only the timestamp that changed.
\> \* Can we, in theory, use new Pythons for asdl\* code, because Python-ast.\*
\> are, in fact, checked in so they don't have to be rebuilt by the bots or
\> users?

We should have the buildbots run "make touch", so they don't need to
run asdl\_c.py.
