improvement: Add AST subclass constructors #11880

bzoracler · 2024-05-09T12:10:49Z

Fixes #8378

ast.AST no longer owns attributes which may not exist on all subclasses (node locations, type_comment). These are all shifted to subclasses which actually own the attributes (d5e0838, 75a2e8e, f9a2cb9)
ast.AST no longer has the constructor __init__(self, *args: Any, **kwargs: Any).
All subclasses of ast.AST which have a non-empty _fields: ClassVar[tuple[str, ...]] or _attributes: ClassVar[tuple[str, ...]] now have their own __init__ constructor (d886a45). The constructor has:
- Positional-or-keyword arguments in the order in which they appear in _fields, and
- Non-mandatory keyword-only arguments from _attributes. These are expressed using a combination of typing.TypedDict and typing_extensions.Unpack.
  - These are non-mandatory because I expect most users won't pass explicit locations, but rather use something like ast.fix_missing_locations.

Updates:

Arguments of type ast.expr_context are not required to be passed to the constructor, but they will not exist on node instances for Python < 3.13.
Arguments of type list are not required to be passed to the constructor for Python >= 3.13.

improvement: shift `type_comment` attribute to classes which contain it

stdlib/_ast.pyi

JelleZijlstra · 2024-05-09T13:33:21Z

Thanks for this, I had been thinking of adding it but hadn't gotten around to it.

JelleZijlstra · 2024-05-09T15:56:58Z

stdlib/_ast.pyi

        __match_args__ = ("body", "type_ignores")
    body: list[stmt]
    type_ignores: list[TypeIgnore]
+    def __init__(self, body: list[stmt], type_ignores: list[TypeIgnore]) -> None: ...


These list fields should default to the empty list on 3.13+.

Addressed in c82a5fa

JelleZijlstra · 2024-05-09T16:00:02Z

stdlib/_ast.pyi

+            decorator_list: list[expr],
+            returns: expr | None = None,
+            *,
+            type_comment: str | None = None,


I don't think type_comment needs to be keyword-only on this overload.

…o constructor

bzoracler · 2024-05-10T06:04:06Z

I didn't add these other changes from Python 3.13 runtime to this PR:

AST._field_types - not sure what the intention is for the values of these dictionaries; are they meant to be for runtime introspection, or can they be anything?
The default_value parameter for ast.TypeVar, ast.ParamSpec, ast.TypeVarTuple - the runtime suggests that this defaults to None if not passed, but the grammar does not mark this field as optional. (I misread the grammar, they're definitely optional)

AST._field_types - not sure what the intention is for the values of these dictionaries; are they meant to be for runtime introspection, or can they be anything?

It's used by the constructor of AST nodes to figure out what defaults to use. I did document it, so I think we should add it to the ast.AST class as ClassVar[dict[str, Any]].

Thank you!

python/typeshed#11880 correctly points out that not all AST nodes have a line and column number.

Followup from python/typeshed#11880. Not all AST nodes have a lineno; in this file only parameter defaults are passed to this function, which are always ast.expr.

See https://docs.python.org/3.10/library/ast.html#abstract-grammar for a reference on the attributes `ast.Call` takes. A future version of mypy will give a type error for this code (python/typeshed#11880).
