Description: astcheck
        ========
        
        astcheck compares Python Abstract Syntax Trees against a template. This is
        useful for testing software that automatically generates or modifies Python code.
        
        Installation::
        
            pip install astcheck
        
        Example use:
        
        .. code:: python
        
            import ast, astcheck
        
            template = ast.Module(body=[
                ast.FunctionDef(name='double', args=ast.arguments(args=[astcheck.mkarg('a')])),
                ast.Assign(value=ast.Call(func=ast.Name(id='double')))
            ])
        
            sample = """
            def double(a):
                do_things()
                return a*2
            b = double(a)
            """
        
            astcheck.assert_ast_like(ast.parse(sample), template)
        
        Only the parts specified in the template are checked. In this example, the code
        inside the function, and the assignment target (``b``) could be anything.
