Ok thanks for the info, I am still however curious about these "tests" are just tests (which may or may not happen) that determine the AST, for example which node to use ?
Or are they tests related to unit testing class PythonParserTests ? Also you said I need to use the visitor created by PythonParser I assume you mean PyRootNodeVisitor ? Just as it is explained in the AST chapter of the documentation. In my case this simple python list will need me to subclass it and override method visitListmaker , the aListmaker passed as argument to the method should I assume it is PyListmakerNode ?
