Hi all,
I would like to propose a new module for the stdlib for Python 2.6 and higher: "ast". The motivation for this module is the pending deprecation for compiler.ast which is widely used (debugging, template engines, code coverage etc.). ast is a very solid module and is without a doubt easier to maintain then compiler.ast which was written in Python, it's lacking some features such as pretty printing the AST or traversing it.
If there are no further objections, I'll add this to PEP 361 so that the proposal doesn't get lost.
