Stating that "this is a feature not a bug" does not make it so. This breaks existing code and reduces the capabilities of the `ast` module. For example, how does one get the location of the docstring now? From a syntactic point of view. def foo(): "help" and def foo(): b'"help" barely differ. The S in AST stands for Syntax not Semantics. |
