A lexer, parser and pretty printing library for Python 2 and 3.
Generally speaking this library was written with the intention of parsing Python for the purposes of program transformation and compilation. It can also be used for Python code generation, but that is not the primary goal. As a consequence the "Abstract Syntax Tree" is not particularly abstract, and might be better described as a "Concrete Syntax Tree".

language-python can be installed with cabal (cabal version 3.0.0.0 onwards):

Test cases are provided in a language-python-test. Test binaries can be built and run as below (cabal version 3.0.0.0 onwards):
cabal install shelltestrunner
cabal install --overwrite-policy=always language-python-test
cd language-python-test/
PATH=$HOME/.cabal/bin/:$PATH make test
If all goes well you should see a long list of test cases and a summary at the end, that should look like the following:
