Ok thanks for the info, I am still however curious about these "tests" are just tests (which may or may not happen) that determine the AST, for example which node to use ?��

Or are they tests related to unit testing class PythonParserTests ?

Also you said I need to use the visitor created by PythonParser I assume you mean PyRootNodeVisitor ? Just as it is explained in the AST chapter of the documentation.��

In my case this simple python list will need me to subclass it and override method visitListmaker , the aListmaker passed as argument to the method should I assume it is PyListmakerNode ?��

Hi kilon,

The tests instance variable is linked to the python grammar: top level items in an expression are probably tests, and, through the grammar, tests can be just atoms.

So the tests instance variable doesn't means it is testing anything :)

Ok so I tried to parse a very simple list like

[ 67,12342,5 ]

using Parse and explore , I can find these number by following this AST (for example 67)

PyFileInputNode>>statements: -> 1: PySimpleStmNode>>stmts: -> 1: PyExprStmtNode>>tests: ->1: PyPowerNode>>atom: -> PyAtomNode>>list: -> 1: PyPowerNode>>atom: -> PyPowerNode>>numberToken -> numberToken>>value -> 67

quite a structure, but the one thing I dont get is "tests" , why "tests" ?��

Does it tests something and if yes what ?
