``astmonkey`` is a set of tools to play with Python AST.

Installation
------------

You can install ``astmonkey`` from PyPI:

::

    $ pip install astmonkey

If you want to have latest changes you should clone this repository and use ``setup.py``:

::

    $ git clone https://github.com/mutpy/astmonkey.git
    $ cd astmonkey
    $ python setup.py install

visitors.SourceGeneratorNodeVisitor
-----------------------------------

This visitor allow AST to Python code generation. It was originally written by
Armin Ronacher (2008, license BSD) as ``codegen.py`` module. ``astmonkey`` version
fixes few bugs and it has good code coverage.

Example usage:

::

    import ast
    from astmonkey import visitors

    code = 'x = (y + 1)'
    node = ast.parse(code)
    generated_code = visitors.to_source(node)

    assert(code == generated_code)

transformers.ParentChildNodeTransformer
---------------------------------------

This transformer adds few fields to every node in AST:

* ``parent`` - link to parent node,
* ``parents`` - list of all parents (only ``ast.expr_context`` nodes have more than one parent node, in other causes this is one-element list),
* ``parent_field`` - name of field in parent node including child node,
* ``parent_field_index`` - parent node field index, if it is a list.
* ``children`` - link to children nodes.

Example usage:

::
    
    import ast
    from astmonkey import transformers

    node = ast.parse('x = 1')
    node = transformers.ParentChildNodeTransformer().visit(node)

    assert(node == node.body[0].parent)
    assert(node.body[0].parent_field == 'body')
    assert(node.body[0].parent_field_index == 0)
    assert(node.body[0] in node.children)

visitors.GraphNodeVisitor
-------------------------

This visitor creates Graphviz graph from Python AST (via ``pydot``). Before you use 
``GraphNodeVisitor`` you need to add parents links to tree nodes (with 
``ParentChildNodeTransformer``).

Example usage:

::

    import ast
    from astmonkey import visitors, transformers

    node = ast.parse('def foo(x):\n\treturn x + 1')
    node = transformers.ParentChildNodeTransformer().visit(node)
    visitor = visitors.GraphNodeVisitor()
    visitor.visit(node)

    visitor.graph.write_png('graph.png')

Produced ``graph.png`` (you need to have installed ``graphviz`` binaries if you want generate 
images):

.. image:: examples/graph.png

utils.is_docstring
------------------

This routine checks if target node is a docstring. Before you use 
``is_docstring`` you need to add parents links to tree nodes (with 
``ParentChildNodeTransformer``).

Example usage:

::

    import ast
    from astmonkey import utils, transformers

    node = ast.parse('def foo(x):\n\t"""doc"""')
    node = transformers.ParentChildNodeTransformer().visit(node)

    docstring_node = node.body[0].body[0].value
    assert(not utils.is_docstring(node))
    assert(utils.is_docstring(docstring_node))
