It would be possible to define a canonical AST storage format. Then, your editor could "incarnate" the AST in the syntax of your choosing. A Python source file is an AST storage format, only it's not canonical. IOW, more than one Python source file can produce identical AST's. That isn't a problem for the specialized editors but it can be a problem for text editors, source code control etc. Marko -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
