Compiler-AST-Walk-Visitor: Any Examples or Documentation?

[Efrat Regev]

Hello,

I'm trying to write something that will translate Python code to
pseudo-code (for teaching purposes). Googling around indicated that the
compiler module is pertinent, especially creating a visitor to walk the
generated AST:
http://docs.python.org/lib/module-compiler.html

I can build the AST, but I can't figure out how to write the
visitor. The package documentation didn't help me out that much, and I
couldn't find any examples. In fact, google only came up with this
unanswered related question:
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/pyt...ly/392716.html

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks and Bye,

Efrat

Maybe some of the files in google codesearch that import compiler and
walk would be helpful?

http://www.google.com/codesearch?q=c...nG=Search+Code

It seems from a superficial look that some of those files would be
helpful as examples.
