I did a bit of research on a matter of different python interfaces to parsing. This is a bit of a mess, but it is as follows:
[cut]
1a. We just always generate the code and throw it away. We loose performance, but we don't care (and we pass tests)
a quick google code search reveals that there are a couple of projects using parser, like pychecker, epydoc and quixote. If it's not too time consuming, I would go for this option.
2. We slowly deprecate parser & compiler, with some removal in future

3. If we develop a new parser, we drop compatibility with exact concrete syntax trees and we only keep ast around (as ast module) if people want to interact with it (this is one less worry for writing parser).
That's an option, but not for 1.1, I think. ciao, Anto
