[Sugar-devel] Python code generator with support for comments?

[Marion Zepf]

Hi,

Does anyone know of a code generator for Python that can handle comments?
 I would like to construct an abstract syntax tree of a module, including
comments and docstrings, and then serialize it into a file.  I do not
necessarily need a parser, since the code will be constructed from a
TurtleArt program.

So far, I only found codegen [1] and unparse [2], which use Python's ast
module, which doesn't support comments.  I know that lib2to3 [3] does
support comments, but it has no stable API.

Thank you.
Marion
