Issue #26146: Add a new kind of AST node: ast.Constant. It can be used by
external AST optimizers, but the compiler does not emit directly such node.
An optimizer can replace the following AST nodes with ast.Constant:
* ast.NameConstant: None, False, True
* ast.Num: int, float, complex
* ast.Str: str
* ast.Bytes: bytes
* ast.Tuple if items are constants too: tuple
* frozenset
Update code to accept ast.Constant instead of ast.Num and/or ast.Str:
* compiler
* docstrings
* ast.literal_eval()
* Tools/parser/unparse.py
This commit simplifies async/await tokenization in tokenizer.c,
tokenize.py & lib2to3/tokenize.py. Previous solution was to keep
a stack of async-def & def blocks, whereas the new approach is just
to remember position of the outermost async-def block.
This change won't bring any parsing performance improvements, but
it makes the code much easier to read and validate.
This commit fixes how one-line async-defs and defs are tracked
by tokenizer. It allows to correctly parse invalid code such
as:
>>> async def f():
... def g(): pass
... async = 10
and valid code such as:
>>> async def f():
... async def g(): pass
... await z
As a consequence, is is now possible to have one-line
'async def foo(): await ..' functions:
>>> async def foo(): return await bar()
