New submission from Brett Cannon: One thing about https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0484/ is that it makes comments potentially semantically meaningful. Unfortunately the AST doesn't carry comments with it in any way, making it difficult to build a tool to implement a linter for PEP 484 using purely the ast module. Even if comments were carried along side-band and could do correlation by line number would be useful in this scenario.
I thought an issue had previously existed for this topic but I could find it. ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 242485 nosy: brett.cannon priority: normal severity: normal stage: test needed status: open title: Carry comments with the AST type: enhancement versions: Python 3.5 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue24119> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
