Hello,

Some history (as best as I could collect it) followed by a question: Before Python 2.5, the ast stdlib module was auto generated by a script named astgen.py from a textual AST definition in Tools/compiler/ast.txt.

Sorry, what Python 2.4 ast stdlib module? Any module named "ast" (or "_ast") didn't exist until 2.5.

-- Regards, Benjamin
