"compiler" module in Python3k

[Zubin Mithra]

Hello everyone!

I am currently working on porting a library over to Py3k and I am required
to replace the compiler module as it does not exist in 3.1. I tried
replacing the compiler module with the ast module, however that does not
meet my requirements.

I need an analogue for compiler.parse.getChildren in Python3k. Any ideas?
Thanks a lot.

Cheers!
Zubin

Can you please generalize a little more what this code is trying to
achieve? Most likely, the _ast module will help, perhaps also lib2to3.

ast.iter_child_nodes together with ast.iter_fields seems to do what you need.
