+ ast
+ ~~~
+
+ The `ast` module helps Python applications to process trees of the Python
+ abstract syntax grammar. The abstract syntax itself might change with
+ each Python release; this module helps to find out programmatically what
+ the current grammar looks like and allows modifications of it.
+
+ An abstract syntax tree can be generated by passing `ast.PyCF_ONLY_AST` as
+ a flag to the `compile()` builtin function or by using the `parse()`
+ function from this module. The result will be a tree of objects whose
+ classes all inherit from `ast.AST`.
+
+ A modified abstract syntax tree can be compiled into a Python code object
+ using the built-in `compile()` function.
+
+ Additionally various helper functions are provided that make working with
+ the trees simpler. The main intention of the helper functions and this
+ module in general is to provide an easy to use interface for libraries
+ that work tightly with the python syntax (template engines for example).
