[Python-Dev] asdl.py and Python-ast.[hc]

[Eli Bendersky]

Hi All,

Earlier this morning I had a slight tackle with a couple of the 3.4 bots
(sorry everyone!). I fixed some problems in asdl.py -
http://hg.python.org/cpython/rev/21d46e3ae60c - and used the 'with'
statement. Some bots don't have Python 2.6+ and couldn't bootstrap
Python-ast.h/c

Two questions:

* Should I always check-in Python-ast.h and Python-ast.c when I touch asdl*
? The generated files are unchanged, it's only the timestamp that changed.
* Can we, in theory, use new Pythons for asdl* code, because Python-ast.*
are, in fact, checked in so they don't have to be rebuilt by the bots or
users?

Thanks in advance,
Eli
