Interesting. Thanks for the perspective. I did take a look at the PyPy ast module but I guess I got scared off by the PyPy specific requriements.
I ended up integrating pythonparser <https://github.com/m-labs/pythonparser> which is a pure Python parser for Python 2.x and 3.x. I'm very impressed with the quality of the code and it has a more powerful interface than the AST module (e.g. it gives line/column ranges for different parts of a node), so it seemed like a no brainer. I am curious what your toolchain looks like, so if you publish it, be sure to update this thread.
