Content
From `compile`'s doc: "Compile the source into a code or AST object." The docs don't say how to compile into an AST object with `compile`, though. As it says later: "If you want to parse Python code into its AST representation, see ast.parse()." I checked 3.4-3.2, 3.0, 2.7, and 2.6. Versions before 3.4, and version 2.6, are missing the `ast.parse` line, but still have the first line.
