  Description     : compatibility layer for the AST of various Python versions

Provides an homogeneous API over the Abstract Syntax Trees of various
Python versions (including Python 2 and Python 3), which itself is
compatible with the standard library "ast" module API.

This package is a dependency of ITP "pythran" [1] (and also of ITP
"beniget" [2], another dependency itself). My intent is to package this
software under the umbrella of the Debian Python team.
