We could add the public interface to the ast.py module or a new one if
people feel strongly about it.
How does it compare to Berker's popular and well-maintained PyPI package for this? https://github.com/berkerpeksag/astor
Does that even have unparse() functionality? From the README it seems to focus on a nicer ast.dump(), which is quite different (in behavior and how it's used) from unparse(). -- --Guido van Rossum (python.org/~guido) *Pronouns: he/him **(why is my pronoun here?)* <http://feministing.com/2015/02/03/how-using-they-as-a-singular-pronoun-can-c...>
