Well, actually the development of this library is essentially +governed by pylint's needs. + +It extends class defined in the compiler.ast [1] module with some +additional methods and attributes. Instance attributes are added by a +builder object, which can either generate extended ast (let's call +them astng ;) by visiting an existant ast tree or by inspecting living +object. Methods are added by monkey patching ast classes. + +Main modules are: + +* nodes and scoped_nodes for more information about methods and + attributes added to different node classes + +* the manager contains a high level object to get astng trees from + source files and living objects. It maintains a cache of previously + constructed tree for quick access + +* builder contains the class responsible to build astng trees + +Dependences: logilab-common available at SlackBuilds.org
