        astor -- AST observe/rewrite
        =============================
        
        astor is designed to allow easy manipulation of Python source via the AST.
        
        There are some other similar libraries, but astor focuses on the following areas:
        
          - Round-trip back to Python via Armin Ronacher's codegen.py module:
        
              - Modified AST doesn't need linenumbers, ctx, etc. or otherwise be directly compileable
              - Easy to read generated code as, well, code
        
          - dump pretty-printing of AST
        
              - Harder to read than round-tripped code, but more accurate to figure out what
                is going on.
        
              - Easier to read than dump from built-in AST module
        
          - Non-recursive treewalk
        
              - Sometimes you want a recursive treewalk (and astor supports that, starting
                at any node on the tree), but sometimes you don't need to do that.  astor
                doesn't require you to explicitly visit sub-nodes unless you want to:
        
                  - You can add code that executes before a node's children are visited, and/or
                  - You can add code that executes after a node's children are visited, and/or
                  - You can add code that executes and keeps the node's children from being
                    visited (and optionally visit them yourself via a recursive call)
        
              - Write functions to access the tree based on object names and/or attribute names
              - Enjoy easy access to parent node(s) for tree rewriting
