-The ``_ast`` module helps Python applications to process trees of the Python
-abstract syntax grammar. The Python compiler currently provides read-only access
-to such trees, meaning that applications can only create a tree for a given
-piece of Python source code; generating byte code from a (potentially modified)
-tree is not supported. The abstract syntax itself might change with each Python
-release; this module helps to find out programmatically what the current grammar
-looks like.
-
-An abstract syntax tree can be generated by passing ``_ast.PyCF_ONLY_AST`` as a
-flag to the :func:`compile` builtin function. The result will be a tree of
-objects whose classes all inherit from ``_ast.AST``.
-
-The actual classes are derived from the ``Parser/Python.asdl`` file, which is
-reproduced below. There is one class defined for each left-hand side symbol in
-the abstract grammar (for example, ``_ast.stmt`` or ``_ast.expr``). In addition,
-there is one class defined for each constructor on the right-hand side; these
-classes inherit from the classes for the left-hand side trees. For example,
-``_ast.BinOp`` inherits from ``_ast.expr``. For production rules with
-alternatives (aka "sums"), the left-hand side class is abstract: only instances
-of specific constructor nodes are ever created.
-
-Each concrete class has an attribute ``_fields`` which gives the names of all
-child nodes.
-
-Each instance of a concrete class has one attribute for each child node, of the
-type as defined in the grammar. For example, ``_ast.BinOp`` instances have an
-attribute ``left`` of type ``_ast.expr``. Instances of ``_ast.expr`` and
-``_ast.stmt`` subclasses also have lineno and col_offset attributes. The lineno
-is the line number of source text (1 indexed so the first line is line 1) and
-the col_offset is the utf8 byte offset of the first token that generated the
-node. The utf8 offset is recorded because the parser uses utf8 internally.
-
-If these attributes are marked as optional in the grammar (using a question
-mark), the value might be ``None``. If the attributes can have zero-or-more
-values (marked with an asterisk), the values are represented as Python lists.

-Abstract Grammar
-================
-
-The module defines a string constant ``__version__`` which is the decimal
-subversion revision number of the file shown below.
-
-The abstract grammar is currently defined as follows:

When a description of an arithmetic operator below uses the phrase "the numeric
arguments are converted to a common type," the arguments are coerced using the
-coercion rules listed at :ref:`coercion-rules`. If both arguments are standard
