Well, actually the development of this library is essentially +governed by pylint's needs. It used to be called logilab-astng. + +It provides a compatible representation which comes from the `_ast` +module. It rebuilds the tree generated by the builtin _ast module by +recursively walking down the AST and building an extended ast. The new +node classes have additional methods and attributes for different +usages. They include some support for static inference and local name +scopes. Furthermore, astroid builds partial trees by inspecting living +objects. |
