Each instance of a concrete class has one attribute for each child node, of the type as defined in the grammar. For example, \code{_ast.BinOp} -instances have an attribute \code{left} of type \code{_ast.expr}. +instances have an attribute \code{left} of type \code{_ast.expr}. +Instances of \code{_ast.expr} and \code{_ast.stmt} subclasses also +have lineno and col_offset attributes. The lineno is the line number +of source text (1 indexed so the first line is line 1) and the +col_offset is the utf8 byte offset of the first token that generated +the node.
