[New-bugs-announce] [issue24220] ast.Call signature changed

[Matthias Bussonnier]

New submission from Matthias Bussonnier:

The `ast.Call/_ast.Call` signature, changed on May 5th (https://hg.python.org/cpython/rev/95886) which causes some error in package using ast (https://bitbucket.org/pytest-dev/pytest/issue/744/pytest-assert-rewriting-broken-with-python#). There does not seem to be any docs in the what's new about the change, though http://bugs.python.org/issue24136 is suppose to track some docs change, so not complaining about that.

Could `ast` shims the old signature and raise a warning until 3.6, to give some time for package to adapt ?
